Not all debt is created equal. Some loans leverage other peoples money to help you make money, some loans just dig you further in a hole. Can you tell the difference? Join CCE CAAHP Ag Business Educator, Dayton Maxwell, for a one hour program Assessing and Using Credit in Your Agricultural Business.
Dayton is a former Farm Credit East loan officer and now serves as the Farm Business Management specialist for the Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Program. He will provide you insight into how lenders look at borrowers, what you should look for in a loan as a borrower, and how to position yourself to get good loans that can help you grow your business.
This program is the first of three Farm Business Management Tuesdays planned for this winter. Join us on January 19th for Knowing Input Costs to Maximize Profits and on January 26th for Cash Flow Management and the Annual Operating Cycle.
If you cannot make the live program, your registration fee also provides you a link to the recorded programs.
This series is supported by ag business management specialists from the following Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cornell University programs: the Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Program, the Central New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops Team, the Eastern NY Commercial Hort Program and NY FarmNet.
