Is There a Capital Squeeze in Agriculture?In this special live episode, Dan Aberhart sits down with Robert Andjelic to explore a question many producers are quietly asking:Is capital tightening around agriculture — and if so, why now?This is not a prediction episode and not financial advice.It’s a first-principles conversation about how credit systems work, what lenders are responding to, and why agriculture is being affected indirectly by pressures elsewhere in the economy.In this episode, we cover:Why banks are under pressure — and why agriculture is not the problemHow commercial real estate, shadow banking, and regulation affect farm creditWhere we are in the broader economic and capital cycleWhy capital availability matters more than interest ratesHow agriculture differs from other asset classes during downturnsWhy preparation and clarity matter more than predictionRobert also shares perspective from decades of experience across commercial real estate, capital markets, and farmland investing — including why he believes agriculture remains one of the strongest long-term sectors, even as conditions tighten.This episode is Part One of a two-part seriesPart One: Understanding the capital environment and why this time is differentPart Two: What to do next — practical preparation, lender conversations, and positioningIf you operate a farm, ag business, or work closely with agricultural finance, this episode is designed to help you think more clearly about the environment ahead — without panic, and without noise.
