Auburn University was awarded a $650,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to address the ability of farm operations in extreme negative financial positions to increase profitability and sustain farm livelihoods. Over the five-year period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2026, Auburn University will expand its unique dataset of farm-level bankruptcy filings throughout the U.S. across multiple farming sectors. It will then develop an understanding of the state of bankrupt farms with respect to business structure, debt composition including personal and farm debt across various types and lenders, and economic outcomes including the ability to maintain control of assets and restructure financial positions. An analysis of state and federal laws will inform the development of a model bankruptcy exemption law for agriculture to inform policymakers. Outreach to farmers, cooperative extension, and agribusiness service providers will be implemented through an online financial management curriculum for farms in extreme financial hardship that considers the bankruptcy process and unique financial positions they face. The University of Georgia Research Foundation and University of Maryland, College Park will serve as sub-awardees on this project.
