This webinar provides an update of the performance of the Canadian Agriculture sector in recent years, including an assessment of the impact of the current global financial crisis. The performance of Canadian farmers and producers in individual provinces are compared with the performance of US farmers, showing that Canadian farmers are much more overcapitalizerd and debt burdened than US farmers. Canadian farmers now have  over 6 times more debt and 3.7 times more equity capital invested per dollar of farm income earned than our US counterparts, and are 6 times more vulnerable to rising interest rates. 

The presentation also provides provincial examples of current performance and looks at key factors driving crop and livestock prices for the future. The presentation addresses the potential for serious financial difficulties and falling land prices occurring in several years when the global economies start recovering and interest rates rise, and provides 10 management strategies for dealing with a potential financial crisis and correction in assest values.
