Obviously your numbers don't work. Farms that gross $100K aren't buying much, if any new equipment without substantial off farm income supplements. I operated a small operation with a partner in the early 1990's and he and I grossed far more than that from low value crops and custom farming for others.So is debt to income ratio and that is what I am getting at. It’s one thing too make $100k a year and have $100k do equipment debt to pay off. It is entirely another to make $100k a year and have $2 million in debt to pay off. I guess if the land the farmer owns is worth more than that debt they can sell at anytime….thats piece of mind If things dont go well.
