Reporting on the results of its second quarter Ag Credit Survey, economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City suggest that, while still soft, the farm economy in the Fed’s Tenth District, is showing signs of stabilization.
The Federal Reserve Banks of Kansas City and Dallas are reporting that demand for farm loans held steady or declined slightly in the second quarter, but renewals and extensions increased somewhat. At the same time, the banks report the interest rate on some loans, including ag machinery, has risen modestly.
Demand for loans for ag equipment and other capital expenditures continued to decline in the first quarter of the year, the volume of large non-real estate farm loans continued to have a significant effect on changes in farm lending, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

Another important indicator for when a new business cycle for agriculture could be in the offing is rising interest rates. Low interest rates have been in effect for such an extended period of time, many consumers take for granted that they'll always be low. For many consumers today, extremely low borrowing rates have become the new norm.
