At an agricultural bankers’ conference, lenders discussed the risks of farmers relying on temporary government payments and urged stress-testing borrowers’ finances without that aid. In the annual survey, about half of lenders said at least a quarter of borrowers’ net income came from direct payments, up from 30% a year earlier; more than two-thirds expected reliance to increase in 2027.
