A live audience Q&A with Robert Andjelic on what actually happens when capital tightens in agriculture — covering lender behavior, cash flow pressure, land values, and survivability as credit becomes more selective.
The first two parts of this event were Robert Andjelic's thesis and his plan. This is the room pushing back -- live audience questions, direct challenges, and Robert answering without notes.

In this session, Robert responds to questions about:
– Cash flow vs land value
– How banks actually behave when risk rises
– Why liquidity disappears before prices fall
– What breaks first when leverage is stretched
– How operators protect the land when margins compress
– And why “survival” is not failure, it’s strategy
Several moments in this Q&A landed hard, including Robert’s blunt reminder: “Your balance sheet won’t save you if your cash flow breaks.” This conversation isn’t theory. It’s lived experience, shared in real time.
