Our Expertise
Agricultural input suppliers look to us for assistance financing seasonal inventory buildup, and trading activity in support of product procurement. Our solutions can be structured to protect against the sharp price changes which can occur in the nitrogen, potash and phosphorus markets. Additionally, we provide financing to firms acquiring other participants and to build fixed assets.

Leasing
Our leasing products are often used to minimize cash outlays and take advantage of tax benefits when acquiring application equipment and rolling stock.

Price Protection Solutions
We also understand the unique competitive issues you face. As gene traits have been incorporated into seed products, sales of ancillary products have been impacted and the relatively high domestic natural gas costs have given foreign sourced fertilizer significant cost benefits. These factors have necessitated the use of price protection solutions including hedging costs as well as insuring sufficient scale and logistics to competitively distribute product.

Hedging
We are experienced in dealing with the challenges faced by both of these trends. In particular our customers appreciate the unique benefits of our Commodity Hedge Products that enable them to hedge inventory positions without funding margin calls or incurring brokerage commissions.

Treasury Services
Our state of the art Treasury Services include multiple remittance and disbursement capabilities, various sweep account arrangements and, coming soon, remote deposit capture capabilities. Taken together these capabilities enable us to serve the needs of ag input auppliers with a nationally competitive product set.
