Missouri Net Farm Income Projected to Increase in 2025

Oct 30, 2025

By Brian Consiglio

The Fall 2025 Missouri Farm Income Outlook forecasts an increase in net farm income, largely due to a boost in livestock receipts and government payments, according to the Rural and Farm Finance Policy Analysis Center (RaFF) at the University of Missouri.

Published twice a year, the report provides statewide projections of major farm financial indicators for Missouri, analyzing cash receipts, production data, government payments and other factors to estimate the state's net farm income. Missouri’s net farm income is projected at $5.39 billion in 2025, a 58% increase from 2024.

Other highlights from the Fall 2025 report include:

Missouri’s projected 58% increase in net farm income is substantially higher than the projected 41% increase in U.S. net farm income for 2025.
Total crop receipts are projected to decline slightly (-1%) to $6.74 billion, as increases in corn receipts would slightly offset reductions in all other major crops. In Missouri, soybean receipts account for 41% of all crop receipts and corn receipts account for 39% in 2025.

Video: Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

In this episode, we’re sorting ewes into their breeding groups and introducing them to unrelated rams. Moving rams between barns always comes with challenges, but once the boys meet their ewes, everyone was eager to settle in!

We also welcome back a returning customer who purchased a Suffolk ram from us last year. This season, she chose a Dorset cross ram, now named Benny, to strengthen her flock’s genetics. It’s always rewarding to see repeat customers who value the quality of our breeding stock.

Arnie then tours the crop fields as harvest season approaches. Despite drought conditions this summer, the crops are looking surprisingly good. We close the day with evening feedings and one last look at the rams with their new breeding groups.
