Abstract
After peaking over $120 billion in 2013, U.S. net farm income fell to $56 billion in 2015 with projections of $54 billion for 2016, the lowest level since 2002 (USDA Economic Research Service). The large drop from 2013 to 2016 after nearly a decade of strong growth in agricultural income presents a substantial challenge to agricultural producers and an increased need to carefully manage risk on the farm or ranch.
