I look at it as a missed opportunity.  You're allowing someone else free use of your money while you could be using it for operating and or earning interest on it in a CD or savings account.
There are a million arguments against deferring income that you could make, but I think this one has almost zero validity unless you don't have the access to capital that you're talking about above. Counter party risk is very valid, lack of opportunity b/c you can't borrow to take advantage of opportunity is one (ie, you have to turn the crop into cash), but parking it in a CD??? Really? What's that CD pay relative to the tax rate that income is being taxed at?


I'm not going to back off on my statement except to say that it does have risk.  I do agree that the CD/investment reasoning is probably not a good reason but everybody's situation is different.  For the record, I have used deferred income in the past.
