Last Week’s Reader Poll: Down In The Dumps

We had strong response to last week’s reader poll regarding what direction you think the farm economy is headed in 2009. Unfortunately (but not unexpectedly), the response was not about enthusiasm, but deep concern about the future.

Nearly two-thirds of you indicated that you feel the market overall will be at least slightly down, but more than 40% of you said it will be down significantly. Only 10% indicated optimism above the “neutral” rating of no change expected.

At this writing, stocks are taking yet another tumble downward, as a global recession seems imminent. We’ll continue to share ideas and bring coverage of the economy’s effects on the ag market in the months ahead, and I encourage you to share your thoughts with me though this blog.
