The agricultural industry is in an age of turbulence and risk. It is also full of opportunity. Agricultural producers face an economic environment of double jeopardy. Higher commodity prices bring higher input costs, land values and cash rents, which can result in record profits or losses when conditions change.

Who are the bankable and unbankable customers in this changing market?
