Season 5: Episode 202
In this week's North American Ag Spotlight Podcast Chrissy Wozniak is joined by Curt Covington, Senior Director of Institution Credit at AgAmerica. With over 40 years of experience in agricultural banking, Curt shares valuable insights from AgAmerica’s 2025 Economic Outlook for U.S. Agriculture.
The conversation covers the decline in net farm income and a projected recovery starting in 2026, stabilizing input costs amidst persistent labor challenges, and the impact of rising farm debt levels. Curt discusses policy uncertainties and the need for strategic planning to navigate tighter margins. He also provides actionable strategies for farmers to control costs, manage debt, and leverage government programs effectively during challenging times.
Curt’s advice underscores the importance of balancing needs versus wants and making informed decisions to maintain financial resilience. This discussion is a must-listen for anyone in the agricultural industry seeking expert guidance to prepare for the year ahead.
