Chapter 3: How can smart restructuring help farmers in tight cash situations?
I don't know which one we're more confident about doing.
You should be able to make this entertaining, at least for yourself. Okay.
I can do that. Right up your alley. Welcome back to the Fire for Profit podcast. This is Tanner. This is Corey. And this is David. Why did that sound like Dave and I were excited and you were almost ready to fall asleep?
This topic, man, I don't know. He's not a freak in the sheets. I'm not the best at it. It's something I should be better at, but it's something that makes me go to sleep. So make it entertaining for me, Tanner.
Chapter 4: What is the significance of a 3-5 year interest-only loan product?
We can do that today. And this is one of the topics that you as listeners have told us we need to discuss. It may not seem fun at the beginning, but I tell you what, we're going to make it as interesting as we can today. And those are because you sent us emails to connect at farmforprofit.com or you texted us 515-207-9640. Got one just now from the Albert City, Truesdale Threshermans. Really?
Yeah, I haven't read it yet, but I saw that come across there. So maybe we'll be going to some old-timer equipment. That'd be fun. Watch them thresh some wheat. Which Albert City? Iowa. Is it? Oh, okay, yeah. So that's not too far.
Chapter 5: How does liquidity stress affect farming decisions?
No. A couple hours maybe? Could be a lot of fun. So, yes, we do get your messages. We read them all. Yep. Try to respond as well. So thanks for hanging out with us. But we're going to talk. The farm economy. And we're going to do this through the eyes of credit underwriters, thanks to our partners at AgFi. Excited to introduce our two guests today. We've got Daniel Taylor and Ethan Turley.
Did I pronounce that correct? That's correct.
Chapter 6: What strategies are farmers using to manage operating debt?
Okay. They're hanging out with us from AgriFinancial. We've had episodes with AgriFinancial in the past. We've talked about green bin financing. We've had a couple of different directions. So thanks for coming back. Welcome to the podcast. Glad to be here. Thanks for the invite, guys.
Appreciate it. Both pretty local to the show here, right?
Yep, live right here in Louisville, Kentucky, so not too far of a commute over. Louisville.
A couple different ways you can say that. I do thoroughly thank you for being a part of this.
Chapter 7: How are interest rates impacting farm financing decisions?
Let's start off. Your background. What was it like being young? You grew up on a farm, always loved finance.
Yeah, so I grew up on a farm in Bowling Green, Kentucky, a little small family farm. Mom was a 4-H agent and my dad worked in agriculture as well. So being the son of a 4-H agent, anything agriculture, I did, you know, meat judging, livestock judging, showing horses. kind of growing up, just had it ingrained in my blood.
And so then after that, went to the University of Kentucky, majored in agriculture there, got a degree, then spent some time in the grain industry for a few years before making the jump over to agriculture, agri-financial. So, yeah, that's kind of my journey and kind of how I got here.
What do you do for – it's okay to say Ag-Fi, isn't it? Yeah. It's, like, so cool to say – sorry. Is it? It's way cool.
Chapter 8: What advice do lenders have for farmers during renewal season?
He was just trying to wake you up, Corey, that's all.
So –
What do you do?
Yes, I'm a lone underwriter, so I'm the person in the Excel sheets, as you all were saying earlier. So I guess our marketing team thought it would be a funny prank to have an underwriter come up here and get out of their comfort zone. So, yeah. Behind the scenes.
What would make this funny is if we approved some loans up here today.
Stamp. Stamp. Come on, that's fine.
We should have brought our financial statements. You're right. I think we could have done a little bit of review. All right. What about your background? Tell us a little bit about how you got into the role you're in.
You bet. So my name is Daniel Taylor. I lead the sales function here at AgFi. So I have a team of 15 loan officers. We're nationwide lenders. So we go from coast to coast, California, all the way over to the east coast, all the way down south up to the Canadian border. My background, I grew up on a dairy operation.
We had dairy cattle and tobacco, and then we transitioned at some point around 2003 into beef cattle. So we've got a cow-calf operation about 30 miles from here out in Smithville, Kentucky. So what I do for AgFi, again, is just kind of lead the sales efforts, projects, forecasting revenues, and things like that. Have a little bit of a credit background, similar to Ethan here.
