Economic conditions in U.S. agriculture reflect a continuing divergence across sectors as livestock markets—particularly cattle—provide support while crop prices and margins remain under pressure. Elevated input costs, limited profit opportunities, and shifting credit conditions continue to shape producers’ decisions and industry prospects, placing increased focus on financial management, risk exposure, and balance sheet resilience. 

The webinar will cover current economic and financial conditions for agriculture, trends in lending activity and financial position, and the outlook for interest costs and financial management for 2026.
