2025 National School for Experienced Ag Bankers: Register Now!

The FINPACK Team wants to draw your attention to an excellent educational opportunity this summer – the 2025 National School for Experienced Ag Bankers.  The Center for Farm Financial Management has had a long relationship with this school, and our staff serve as part of the teaching team — including members of the FINPACK team — along with a talented group of seasoned ag bankers.

Accrual Analysis & Year-end Balance Sheets

As the new year begins, many producers will begin to review their farm financial situation. It’s a great time to encourage your agricultural borrowers to complete their balance sheets. For producers whose fiscal year coincides with the calendar year, January 1 is an excellent date for the annual Balance Sheet. Also, a January 1 balance sheet allows for a full year of data to analyze and provides a good starting point for the new year.
