# Farmer Sentiment Rises and NFU Calls for Action

> 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.

## Why it matters

The improved sentiment and financial indicators suggest somewhat better reported farm conditions, but the update does not identify a change in commodity supply or demand. The agencies’ agreement may strengthen market monitoring without directly changing prices.
