Learn more about the seven most influential factors impacting agricultural economics in 2022. 

From supply chain shortages to spiking input costs, farmers were faced with challenges in 2021 that required dedication and ingenuity to overcome. In response, they adapted their operations to meet a rising consumer demand for agricultural products. Despite the challenges, the combination of strong commodity prices and export demand has led 2021 farm income to reach its highest level since 2013.  

In 2022, net farm income is forecasted to decline 4.5 percent but still 26 percent higher than the 10-year average. AgAmerica’s Chief Economist Dr. John Penson has been monitoring the most influential factors impacting farm income in 2022 and consolidated his insights into a comprehensive economic report.

Seven Factors Influencing the U.S. Farm Economy in 2022 

1. Supply Chain Shortages and Bottlenecks 

One of the central headlines in 2021, supply chain shortages and bottlenecks are expected to continue well into 2022. These bottlenecks have led to far-reaching impacts on farmers and ranchers such as making it difficult to find machinery parts and transport commodities.

Supply chain shortages are a central contributor to inflation and spiking farm production costs. While this issue is outside of your control, you can control your response. Securing working capital, lowering production costs, increasing efficiencies, and engaging in strategic business planning can all help offset the repercussions of supply chain shortages. 

2. Inflation 

As a result of supply chain shortages and rising consumer demand, inflation is expected to play a major role in the U.S. agricultural economy in 2022. Therefore, understanding how to minimize production costs will be key.

3. Interest Rates 

Interest rates are expected to trend upward this year—and locking in a fixed rate soon may be a wise idea.  

Interest rates accounted for nearly 6% of total cash farm expenses in 2021.

4. Severe Weather 

In addition to economic variables, natural forces will also play an important role in the 2022 farm sector. From the ongoing drought to severe weather, farmers will need to respond to weather events impacting their operation’s success.

This year, farmers and ranchers in the West are still facing severe impacts from drought. More than 185 million acres of crops and nearly 23 million beef cattle were affected by drought in 2021, according to the USDA. Due to the increasing drought, water restrictions may tighten, making efficient use of resources essential. 

5. Federal Spending 

After record government spending in 2020, direct government payments are expected to further decline in 2022.

6. Legislation 

Perhaps one of the most disputed and discussed topics of 2022, agricultural legislation has the potential to either significantly help or burden American farmers and ranchers.

Key legislation to keep an eye on in 2022 includes the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a la carte legislation from what’s left of the Build Back Better Plan, and the 2023 Farm Bill. With 2022 agricultural legislation in a state of uncertainty, more farmers and industry groups are stepping up to ensure the voice of agriculture is heard throughout legislative discussions. 

7. Trade  

Continued discussions surrounding global trade are expected to continue into 2022, with a major focus on China.
