We don't normally look at agricultural indicators like crop yields, arable crop land, rainfall, food prices, and commodity futures because agriculture's a small but critical part of the economy. In modern developed economies, under 5% of the population is employed in farming. So while soybean tariffs may be tragic for soybean farmers, they have little effect on the broader market, just as Bitcoin price crashes may have tragic effects on Bitcoin miners but the broader economy doesn't care. The assumption is that we have enough food, and as long as we continue having enough, metrics about how much food we produce aren't that important for measuring the overall health of economy. This despite those metrics being a critical factor in human population growth for millenia.
Manufacturing is rapidly attaining the same status. We will continue to need stuff for the foreseeable future. However, as long as we have enough stuff, how manufacturers do is not terribly important to the broader economy, because they're a rapidly shrinking source of total spending. In many cases, when they're struggling it's because there's too much stuff and they can't find buyers for their products.
Not just that, but relatively few people (at least in the US; this might be different for other "developed" nations, and is probably very different for "developing" countries) are exposed to the agricultural sector on a day-to-day basis (even in rural parts of the US, for example), which means they probably don't have the intuitive understanding of the agricultural sector necessary to determine whether or not it's doing well. Most people in the financial sector (I'd assume, and have observed) tend to live and work as far from farms as possible :)
Agriculture's also pretty unlikely to be a useful indicator of recession (I'd imagine; I'm no economist) because people need to eat; whether you're eating a meal at a restaurant or a meal you cooked yourself, or whether you're buying fresh or frozen/canned, the underlying agricultural side of that supply chain is gonna be more-or-less unaffected (at least by the supply/demand curve jumbling; loan availability, real estate values, etc. can still negatively impact the ag sector in the same ways they negatively impact other sectors), if not moreso given the typical amount of land required to do farming/ranching at the scale necessary to make decent money from it (so i.e. excluding subsistence and/or recreational/hobbyist farmers).
(1) if it’s a small but critical part of the economy, could it make sense for it to switch to a centralised model?
(2) what happens when we have “enough” services?
2) The economy shifts into the next phase of development. I don't know what that'll be - artistic pursuits? space exploration? - but eventually the service industry will face the same fate as manufacturing and agriculture, and we'll move into a new economic era.
Perhaps artistic pursuits in space :)
Humans don't take boredom well. They'll find something to do even after all their needs are fully met.
2) we'll do something else
2) what “something” is neither primary production, nor manufacturing, nor services, yet capable of being scarce in a way that could be meaningfully traded for the aforementioned?
