Agricultural Finance Theme Month

banner

Agricultural finance theme month goals: 

  • For those new to the sector, we will give a high-level overview
  • For those who are already familiar with the sector, we hope to go one level deeper. That means not just repeating things you can find elsewhere online or putting out marketing pieces but to get a little into the weeds. My experience is that it’s almost impossible to understand how an activity works by just looking at its website so we’ll try to break things down for you. 
  • We hope to ask questions that we don't necessarily know the answer to now, but that we think are important to highlight and discuss.
  • We want to share challenges activities face to acknowledge the work we do is hard, innovation is risky, and there is a need to be flexible.
  • Finally, we hope this will become a reference source to come back to when you have questions in the future and want to know where to go to learn more.
