AgCountry Farm Credit Services, Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica), and Frontier Farm Credit sponsor a webinar series, Two Economists and a Lender. Our August installment featured Agriculture Economic Insights (AEI) co-founders David Widmar and Brent Gloy and Dan O’Hern, financial officer. The webinar recording from August 28 is available.


Alternative farmland rental agreements come with different returns and risk profiles. The risk is often overlooked. In this episode, we reviewed the trade-offs from the farmers’ perspective.

The next webinar on Thursday, Sept. 25 will review the latest carbon programs and help producers think about how carbon payments will impact their farm businesses and, potentially, farmland values.
