Farm debt crisis rises in Kansas as vulnerable farms climb
A USDA ERS survey reported Kansas farms in vulnerable-burdened status more than doubling from 5 percent in 1988 to 11 percent in 1989, with 7,590 farms affected. The state’s overall financial health worsened while 62 percent posted positive net incomes in 1989, and western Kansas showed high debt-to-asset ratios rising into danger levels.
