Abstract: Each year in early January, Purdue University hosts the Purdue Top Farmer Conference, where academic speakers, agribusiness affiliates, and farmers convene to discuss current issues and trends in agricultural markets. At this year's conference, participants were invited to complete a brief survey assessing farm resilience and producer sentiment. A total of 83 survey responses were collected, with 53 coming from farmers. This article compares the producer sentiment of attendees at the Purdue Top Farmer Conference with survey responses from the Purdue/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer survey conducted in December 2023. It then contrasts the farm resilience levels of conference attendees with those from a national survey on farm resilience to strategic risk conducted by the Purdue Center for Commercial Agriculture in April 2023.
