It's so easy to think of agriculture and finance as a large-scale, impersonal realm: import-export balances, federally-backed loans, and enormous capital flows. And those are all important!
But let's take a step back and remember that 95% of US farms are family-owned. That means the dominant financial consideration in US agriculture- what farms grow, how, whether they keep farming at all- is personal finance.
Financial planner Katy Stevick joins us to talk household finance. This is her first podcast so she's a little shy, but she brought the facts and we had a good time! There's so much more to say about in this topic, it was great to have her to help lay out the groundwork on how household finance shape business practices, and we look forward to having her back for more deep dives on farms and finance.
