Everyone Borrowed. Rates Hit 18%. He Was Paid Off. Then the Farm Crisis Hit.

In the late 1970s, everyone was borrowing. Then interest rates climbed to 18%. This is a story about debt, survival, and what happens when the music finally stops. Set in rural America during the farm boom and collapse of the early 1980s, this story follows Jedadiah Stone, a quiet farmer who chose to live without loans while everyone around him expanded on credit. As banks pushed growth and neighbors chased scale, two different ways of living stood side by side, and the consequences didn’t arrive all at once. They arrived slowly, through weather, markets, interest rates, and silence. This story reflects on ownership, restraint, dignity, and the kind of freedom that doesn’t show up on balance sheets. It raises a quiet question: when the world rewards risk and speed, what does it cost to choose patience instead? This video blends historical fiction inspired by real events from the American farm crisis with emotionally grounded storytelling and lived-in life lessons.
