farm foreclosures

Rural property repossessions

Farm foreclosures are legal processes through which lenders seize agricultural properties when farmers default on loans.

The term often evokes broader economic distress—the farm crisis of the 1980s saw waves of foreclosures that devastated rural communities across the American Midwest.

Rising interest rates and falling land values triggered thousands of farm foreclosures.
