Abstract

Variability in commodity prices and yields, together with greater financial obligations for highly leveraged farms, have added much uncertainty about farmers' debt servicing capacity (Barry and Fraser; Hanson and Thompson). As a result, financial responses must come more to the forefront in farmers' risk management, through emphasis on fuller development and application of the financial control process; and development of specific financial programs and instruments for dealing with random variations in debt servicing capacity (Baker; Lee). An example of the second response is the variable amortization payment plan VAPP suggested by Baker and tested empirically by Stone for use in farm mortgage lending.
