The agricultural economic picture can challenge even the best lenders who are providing debt capital to agriculture and rural America. What are the global economic forces and mega trends that will impact profits and cash flows of farm/ranch businesses and suppliers providing products and services to the farms? What is the interest rate environment and what impact will the rise of rates, strength of the dollar, and oil and domestic economic environment have on agricultural customers and those that lend to agriculture? Will land values continue to hold? What factors may result in a correction? What are the financial characteristics of high-risk customers? What are other factors that ag lenders need to monitor on the radar screen?
