Farm Balance Sheets: The Hidden Risk of Non-Real Estate Debt
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City –
Main Street Economist – Issue 2 – 2011 – 5 pages
Today's soaring farmland values have
boosted farm wealth and driven the U.S. farm balance sheet to its
strongest level since the 1970s farm boom. If farmland values were to
fall sharply, as they did in the farm crisis of the 1980s, both farm
balance sheets and farm wealth could suffer, especially for farmers
with high levels of non-real estate debt. This issue of The Main
Street Economist explores the effects of the falling farmland values
on farm balance sheets, wealth and insolvency.
