Nebraska and U.S. Farm Income Update and Outlook – Spring 2025 (May 1, 2025 Webinar)

With: Brad Lubben, Associate Professor and Extension Policy Specialist, University of Nebraska-Lincoln; and Alejandro Plastina, Associate Professor of Agricultural Finance and Director of the Rural and Farm Finance Policy Analysis Center, University of Missouri. Nebraska’s farm income prospects are mixed in 2025, with lower crop prospects buffered by continued strength in the cattle sector and substantial government assistance projected for the year. The net result is that farm income for the state is projected higher in 2025 and could rival the record farm income results of 2022. While the outlook may be strong, it might seem at odds with widely-reported producer concerns and high levels of uncertainty over key production, market, and policy developments that could affect farm income through the year. The details are always more complex and highlight potential differences across sectors as well as the need for a deeper analysis. Join us for a review of the details and the latest farm income situation and outlook for the rest of 2025 and beyond for ag producers. Presented by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Agricultural Profitability and the University of Missouri’s Rural and Farm Finance Center.
