A lot of producers assume rising rates are the thing that will break their business, but the real damage shows up when cash flow is tight and there’s no structure in place to absorb the pressure. In this episode, Brecken breaks down how rate rises actually hit a farm business and why the best operators restructure early instead of reacting late.

This episode covers:

◼️ How rate rises cut straight into net profit and cash flow surplus

◼️ How bank scrutiny and lending policies tighten in a rising‑rate cycle
