We’re pleased to announce that CME Group and Purdue University have partnered to introduce a new economic indicator to measure the health of the U.S. agricultural economy – the Purdue/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer. Each month, the Ag Economy Barometer will provide a sense of the agricultural economy’s health with an index value based on a survey of 400 agricultural producers on economic sentiment.
We’re working with Purdue to provide this new tool to agricultural customers, agribusiness thought leaders, academics, members of the press and other market participants as we believe it will provide an essential resource for monitoring the health of the food industry and vital insight into the global economy. The Purdue/CME Group Ag Barometer will be available on a monthly basis at www.purdue.edu/agbarometer.
