Interest Rates, Farm Prices, and the U.S. Farm Sector.

Kitchen, John; Zahn, Frank

Rural Development Perspectives, v3 n1 p21-24 Oct 1986

Interest rates are the primary channel for transmitting changes in national and international macroeconomic policy to the United States farmer. Interest rates affect demand through exchange rates that determine the prices foreigners pay. They affect supply through farmers' production costs that determine the price they need to stay in business. (JHZ)
