The study looks at how changes in monetary policy affect the farm sector in the US. It examines two ways this can happen: through changes in farm prices and through changes in the amount of money farmers can borrow. The researchers used a model to show that when monetary policy tightens, farm prices drop initially. They also found that after a tightening of monetary policy, farmers borrow more money for about a year before reducing their borrowing. This shows that monetary policy changes can have lasting effects on the farm sector.
