The Purdue-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer rose to 126 in October from 123 in September, while its current-conditions and farm-financial-performance measures improved and future expectations slipped. The National Farmers Union urged lawmakers to modernize the farm bill, and the CFTC and USDA signed an agreement to coordinate oversight of agricultural markets.
