I prefer not to get to cocky when a fellow farmer gets in a financial bind. Who doesn't know someone who lost money after delivering product to a bankrupt company? Or over paid for fertilizer or other inputs to quarantee a supply for future needs? Or had a nervous lender turn down a loan application after your primary lender gets in financial trouble? Or had unexpected margin calls or unfillable supply contracts? Best of luck to all. Farming has always been a tough business and it isn't going to get easier any time soon. |
