Whether you’re a Farmer, Agribusiness person, or an Ag Banker, this episode is for you! John Blanchfield is a former Ag lender who then worked with the American Bankers Association Ag division. He now runs Agricultural Banking Advisory Services. He joins me to discuss: why 2019 will shape up better financially than we feared, and how we can all thrive (or at least survive) financially. John provides insights on how to see your Ag lender from their perspective. He then tells us what lenders see when they look at us and our Ag operations. John give us simple actions to take to always be a creditworthy loan recipient, and he shares mistakes we all commonly make and how to avoid them. Too many of my Ag friends avoid talking about money. Don’t be one of those people! Listen to this for straight talk about improving your banking relationship.
