Farmers Flood Land Market With Debt To Buy Farms
The Agriculture Department reports farmers owe 34.5 billion dollars in real estate debt as of January 1, up 3.2 billion from a year earlier. Net farm income is projected to rise to about 23.7 billion dollars in the current year, with high land values and easy credit fueling the expansion. Record cattle prices boost western ranchers’ profits, while lending liberalization by federal land banks drives mortgage growth and long-term debt. Warroad area notes Lake of the Woods region spans 1 485 square miles with 14 600 islands.
