Resumen
Descripción
This report documents the major changes that have occurred in
South--Dakota and U.S. farm sector debt structure and debt servicing
ability from 1969 - 1989. South Dakota and U.S. agricultural debt trends
are presented and evaluated for two contrasting time periods: (1) 1969 -
1983 period characterized by rapid increases in agricultural debt and
interest payments; and (2) 1983 - 1989 period of declining levels of
agricultural debt and interest payments. Trends in farm real estate debt
and nonreal estate farm debt levels and changing market shares of
agricultural lenders are presented. Finally, several indicators are used
to evaluate the debt servicing ability of South Dakota's agricultural
sector. The implications of these financial trends in the South Dakota
and U.S. farm economy are discussed.
