Abstract: A higher interest rate environment may have income implications for the farm sector. Past research demonstrates a negative relationship between relative interest rate levels and commodity prices, particularly for agricultural commodities. This article explores the complex relationship between interest rates, the money supply, exchange rates, and commodity prices.
