Episode 63 - Short-Term Interest Rates and Identifying Financial Stress

from Morning Coffee and Ag Markets · host University of Arkansas, Cooperative Extension Service

The Fed cuts interest rates for the first time since 2024, easing short-term lending costs but offering little immediate relief for producers in a tough ag economy. Ryan Loy is joined by Erica Barnes Fields as they connect these market shifts to rising farm financial stress, drawing lessons from the 1980s crisis and outlining red flag warning signs and resources available to support farm families today.
