According to the latest results, the distribution of profitability across agriculture remained relatively stable this quarter. Ongoing challenges include low prices, persistently elevated input costs, and trade policy. Conditions are not expected to change significantly for most industries over the next year, although some producers and processors may eventually benefit from higher prices.
