Canadian Agriculture Expected to Handle Potential Interest Rate Hikes

Sep 26, 2018

Regina. Sask. - In spite of higher interest rates, fluctuating commodity prices and trade uncertainty, Farm Credit Canada (FCC) finds Canadian agriculture remains strong and continues to withstand economic fluctuations.

In its latest report, the FCC defines the agriculture industry as being well-positioned to thrive despite some challenges.

While total farm debt across the country recently exceeded $100 billion, most Canadian producers continue to be in a good financial position.

It's expected that the country's agriculture community will finish strong in 2018 and head into 2019 on a positive note.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
