Abstract

In our previous article (see farmdoc daily, December 11, 2024), we examined the trends in the ratio of median reported working capital to gross farm returns ratio across three regions of Illinois. Our findings indicate that Central Illinois has shown the least variability in liquidity compared to Northern and Southern Illinois. In contrast, Southern Illinois frequently faces liquidity challenges. These issues are primarily due to the region's greater fluctuation in crop yields, which results in more significant income swings. In this article, we will examine the working capital to gross farm returns ratio by farm size using data from the Illinois Farm Business Farm Management (FBFM).
