Is your financing strategy still the right fit for your operation?

When margins shift, the lowest starting interest rate isn't the only thing that matters. Predictable payments, cash flow support, and flexibility can bring a lot of peace of mind.

What worked a few years ago might need a second look today. Bookmark this post for when you're ready to evaluate your current debt structure and ensure it still supports your long-term goals.

The future of agriculture depends on the next generation.

Starting and growing an operation takes more than determination. It takes access to capital, trusted guidance, and a partner committed to your success.

That's why we invest in young and beginning producers with specialized financing, education, and support designed to help them build strong, sustainable operations. In fact, more than 42% of our customer-owners are young, beginning, or small producers, reflecting our commitment to helping grow the future of agriculture.

Supporting the next generation is about more than financing today. It's about strengthening agriculture for seasons to come. That's Strength for Every Season.

On the heels of scouting the western leg of the @profarmer Crop Tour, our Bree Baatz (@BBaatz1983) shared her latest #corn and #soybean insights with @FCSAmerica customers in southeast Nebraska.

According to Bree, high notes right now for Nebraska farmers include:

🌱 Domestic crush is lifting demand for soybeans.

💲Record corn and soybean yields in Nebraska likely won't be repeated this year. Prospects for less supply and rising demand will be supportive for higher basis.

📰 Bree recently co-authored a pre-harvest outlook with Terrain analyst Marc Rosenbohm, where they shared price forecasts based on various yield scenarios: https://t.co/sHSDgmu9q0

Every successful game plan starts with a focus on the fundamentals.

Before evaluating crop insurance coverage, take a step back and assess your operation's overall financial picture. Understanding your cost of production, working capital, and future capital investments can help provide the context needed to make more informed risk management decisions.

As the conversation intensifies around the global population peaking, questions arise as to whether increasing caloric intake could offset population decline.

A recent analysis from @TerrainAg found that increasing caloric consumption will not fully offset the future decline in the global population and the reality of slower demand for U.S. agriculture exports in the future.

Most of the current top U.S. trading partners will hit peak caloric consumption in the next 30 years, highlighting the need to forge new trade partnerships and continue developing high-value products and markets.
