1 Macroeconomic Outlook for U.S. Agriculture Nathan Kauffman Omaha Branch Executive and Economist Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City May 18, 216 The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City or the Federal Reserve System
2 Overview of the Federal Reserve System The Fed is the Central Bank of the U.S. Board of Governors: 7 members, each appointed by U.S. President Federal Reserve Banks: 12 Banks, 24 Branches The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has 19 members, 12 voting. Primary functions: Monetary Policy pursue maximum employment and stable prices Bank Regulation ensure safety and soundness of banks. Financial Services bank for banks, and bank for federal govt. Lender of Last Resort provide liquidity in times of crisis
3 Of the 12 Fed Districts, the 1 th District is the most concentrated in agriculture by some measures.

4 Outline A 3 rd consecutive year of a downturn in the ag economy. Supply factors at play year-to-year, but demand strength likely the long term driver. Recent global and macroeconomic developments have shaped the set of concerns in the ag economy. Financial stress among ag borrowers and ag lenders could be more pronounced in the near future.
5 Farm income has dropped sharply from recent highs, along with crop prices. U.S. Real Net Farm Income Billion dollars (constant 215 dollars) Net Farm Income (Left Scale) $/bu Average Corn Price (Right Scale) * 3 Source: USDA.
6 Outside of agriculture, the last three years have also been notable for the global economy. Fiscal challenges Monetary policy divergence Oil price collapse Exchange rate volatility Renewed China concerns Global financial market turmoil _rexit?

15 Inflation in the U.S. has also been dampened by a stronger dollar. Currency Exchange Rates Index (Jan. 213 = 1) Euro Zone Japan Canada Mexico 11 1 Stronger Dollar 9 Jan-13 Jan-14 Jan-15 Jan-16 Sources: Federal Reserve Board and Haver Analytics.

30 The downturn in the U.S. ag economy has persisted for 3 years. Implications for credit markets?

36 How might a changing interest rate environment affect the ag economy?
37 Farm interest rates have increased, but only slightly. Interest Rates on Non-Real Estate Farm Loans First Quarter Percent Feeder Livestock Other Livestock Current Operating Expenses Percent Farm Machinery Source: Agricultural Finance Databook, Table A.5
38 Interest expenses, however, are small when compared to fluctuations in commodity prices Cents per Bushel U.S. Corn Producers - Interest Expenses and Price Fluctuations Average Annual Interest Payment Average Daily Price Change Average Monthly Price Change Cents per Bushel Sources: USDA, barchart.com and author s calculations.
39 Concluding Points Farm income has continued to weaken with low commodity prices. Supply-side headwinds: strong U.S. and global production. Demand-side headwinds: ethanol blend wall, export markets and China. Biofuel exports may be a longer-term boost. Effects of the downturn in the farm economy: Tightening credit conditions. Pressure on cash rents and farmland values. Consolidation (opportunities for some). Accelerating decline in rural, agricultural areas.
