Episode 84 - What Lower Interest Rates Mean for 2026 Budgets

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

Hunter Biram is joined by Ryan Loy to discuss the March 2026 Fed decision to hold interest rates steady and what that means for farmers. While rates have eased slightly, higher input costs mean producers are still borrowing more, keeping interest expenses elevated. They also touch on how ongoing uncertainty could shape future rate decisions and what it means for tight farm margins this season.
