(KANSAS CITY, MO) — Agricultural credit conditions in most of the region deteriorated gradually during the third quarter of 2025, but strength in the cattle sector improved farm finances in some areas.
According to the Tenth District Survey of Agricultural Credit Conditions, farm income and credit conditions weakened at a pace similar to recent quarters in portions of the region most dependent on crop revenues.
