Abstract: The ever increasing capital requirements in agriculture, along with increasing debt levels and fluctuating interest rates, have increased the intensity of cash flow problems and financial crisis. This paper evaluates effects of debt level on farm income level, enterprise mix and farm survival. Farms with debt of 50 percent or more had negative capital accumulation even with interest rates of 10 percent.
