Bankers report farm ranch profits hurt by low prices
An April 1 survey of agribankers by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas shows earnings from farming and ranching in the Trans Pecos and Edwards Plateau regions of Texas squeezed by low cattle and grain prices and rising production costs. Higher operating costs reduce cash flow and lift loan demand while loan repayment slows. Sheep and goat producers gain from strong lambs wool and mohair prices. Interest rates average about 9.1 percent across feeder cattle, operating, and intermediate loans. Gas-driven irrigation costs press crop profitability in Culberson Reeves Pecos counties, pushing some customers out of business. Land values expected to remain stable with small gains for irrigated parcels.
