This financial tool supports farmers’ cash flow
Every fall you’re faced with important decisions about how best to market your crops or livestock, knowing you want to maximize your returns and generate essential farm cash flow.
“Farmers need a financing tool that gives them flexibility to sell when the time and price are best for them,” says Dave Gallant, Director of Finance & Operations at Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA).
An Advance Payments Program cash advance from CCGA is a financial tool that supports the working capital needs of your farm. Put an advance to work and have more time to execute your marketing plan, cover your seasonal operating expenses, pre-buy next year’s crop inputs, or make upgrades and repairs — whatever works best for your farm.
“We know farmers have choices when evaluating cash flow options, and if you’re not already using an Advance Payments Program cash advance, it’s definitely worth a second look,” says Gallant. With recent program changes, a cash advance from CCGA can help many farms reduce the borrowing costs of their short-term financing needs.
An APP cash advance from CCGA is interest-free up to $250,000, and farmers can borrow up to $1 million. The interest-bearing portion is charged at prime less 0.75%, making a cash advance particularly valuable in today’s climate of rising interest rates.
