Kinda interesting discussion on what constitutes a “well heeled” operation in thread below. Someone mentioned if land values dropped in half that many would lose collateral and would not be able to continue with the loss of said collateral.

In my experience modt ooerstions have some debt on their land base…maybe some don’t. I do wonder tho would you rather own 1000 acres with no debt or 2000 with 50% debt against it? Is your answer different if you’re farming it?

I’ve talked to many lenders about this very thing and their words are always the big guys aren’t scared of debt…
