whether renting or purchasing land is the most profitable option. However, even if purchasing land is more profitable
than renting, purchased land will not cash flow (Oltmans).
A third potential issue with accessing profitability using solvency ratios is the payment of loan principle. While
this does not affect profitability, the loan principle payment does take cash away from other areas where the cash
could be employed. Thus the loan principle could indirectly lower farm profitability.
As the preceding discussion indicates, it is not clear if solvency ratios can reliably predict future net farm
income. Given the easy with which the solvency ratios (particularly the debt‐to‐asset ratio) can be calculated, this
paper tests the ability of two solvency ratios to future net farm income. A positive result might indicate that a
solvency ratio could be used as a quick way to screen farms for future profitability.
