English translation:mood in agriculture
Explanation:
"barometer of the mood in agriculture" or "barometer of the agricultural mood.

I think you can keep the literal translation of "Stimmungsbild" since it's very standard to talk about the "mood" of a particular sector of the economy. The word has emotional overtones (e.g. of optimism/pessimism) that are contained in more pragmatic terms such as "agricultural performance".
