Farm Credit Mid-America Regional Vice President Brock Burcham is encouraging growers to begin financial planning for the 2022 growing season.
“The major one is knowing the cost of someone’s operation,” he says. “We’re spending a lot of time right now sitting down with our customer base and making sure they understand their breakeven so they can best market their grain to try to ensure some profit or maximize profit in the next year.”
He says harvest is well underway but “we’re excited about that, but we also like to think proactively to work with our operations to get them ready and plan for things that are maybe unforeseen.”
Speaking to Brownfield at Farm Science Review, he also discussed the Patronage Program.
