Episode Three: An innovative proposal for farm financing
Many farmers are concerned that government financing schemes particularly in times of drought can lead them into unrepayable debt, and risk of property foreclosure down the track.
In this podcast Professor Bruce Chapman (the Sustainable Farms Finance Research Director) talks to Gordon Taylor about an innovative proposal for farm financing that means debt is only repaid when it can be. In the current context, the model is particularly useful for both providing drought relief and encouraging investment in natural assets on farm.
