BRICS+ has the economic size and population base to wield global influence. In a new report, our senior rural economy analyst, Matt Clark, considers the implications for the farm economy, including whether the economic alliance (made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and new entrants) can completely move away from U.S. agriculture and the dollar.

Our economist Matt Erickson shares an overview of the headwinds shaping volatility and uncertainty as producers enter a new production season. ⬇ 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲-𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 U.S. crop producers have experienced significant margin compression in the past year, and crop prices are expected to remain depressed in 2025. Producers continue to deal with ‘sticky’ costs like cash rents, machinery costs, production inputs and more. 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗽 Soybean production in Brazil and Argentina is forecast to reach a record 220 million metric tons for marketing year 2024-25. Meanwhile, reduced supply and strong demand has led to an increase in U.S. corn prices in the first quarter of 2025. 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗳𝘀 U.S. agriculture is concerned about the impact tariffs will have on its three top trade partners – Canada, China and Mexico. In 2024, these three countries accounted for 47% of total U.S. agricultural export value. While inherent to agriculture, uncertainty comes with a unique set of risks that require a fresh look at an operation’s financial position and strategies.

As the world's population has grown, so has U.S. agriculture. Since 1990, U.S. farmers have produced 63% more tons of corn, soybeans, wheat and sorghum. That is one example of the growth paradigm that has shaped the U.S. ag industry for the past 30 years. But, can the same paradigm carry the industry for another 30 years and successfully transition the farm to the next generation? Our analyst Matt Clark at Terrain is diving into the question of how the world reaching peak population will affect agriculture. Part of that research means looking into exports and how trade shifts correspond with population growth. For example, Asia, whose population increased 50% from 1990 to 2024, is now the biggest buyer of U.S. corn, soybean, sorghum and wheat exports. Link to full article in the comments below.
