The Financial Status and Local Credit Market Conditions of U.S. Farms Engaged in Multiple Borrowing
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agricultural producers often borrow from multiple lenders, raising concerns about credit risk and monitoring. We construct detailed farm‐level measures of how debt is distributed across lenders and examine how farm financial status and the physical presence of local lenders are linked to this practice.
