Abstract

Variable interest rates shift the risk of interest rate changes from the lender to the borrower. Various agribusiness firms and the agricultural sector were analysed to determine whether variable rates contribute significantly to fluctuations in net cash income. Results indicate that variable rates increase the instability of net cash flows for major mid-west farm types and but not for farmer owner cooperatives.
