Show #649: BORROWED MONEY
Guests: Pete Graff, PhD, Farmer / Ag Lending Specialist
Subject: The government appears to be changing its agriculture lending policy so that only farmers who do not need money get money. This new policy leads us to ask… If farmers can’t get money, will we get food?
Topics include how commercial growers use borrowed money to grow their crops; how, in the past, government has guaranteed their loans; and what impact a change in this policy might have for the production of crops and the availability of food.
