Beginning farmers more affected by market volatility

An ag lender suggests new and beginning farmers are affected more by market volatility.

Chris Fitzloff with Compeer Financial tells Brownfield price fluctuations impact all farmers.

“But it seems like our beginning farmers get affected a little bit more, and things are typically a little tighter on the beginning farmer side. So we need to pull out all the stops and the resources to work with them.”

He says young farmers should work with their local Farm Service Agency to keep up on programs.
