AgLending is business lending, with a twist. Farm lenders need the skill to create a global analysis of business tax returns. They need to add an understanding of multi-year cycles, combined business and personal expenses, and all the reasons one operation does well when another seemingly similar operation does not. The tax returns have the clues if you know where to look.
In our online programs for farm lenders, we use a comprehensive case study that uses farm tax returns covering two operations and the owner/guarantors. We include income sources and cyclical factors that are unique to farming.
With over 20 years of AgLending training, Linda brings an understanding of farming operations that few credit trainers can. Join other lending professionals who work in AgLending and learn from someone who understands it.
