FarmCash opens fall cash advances with fast turnaround times, producers can receive funds in three to five business days

Posted September 1, 2020

FarmCash is now accepting applications for the post-harvest fall advance starting today, September 1. Alberta producers of over 50 agricultural commodities including crops, livestock and honey can apply for free through a simple online application and receive funds in three to five business days upon completion of their application.

The anticipation of the FarmCash fall advance application period comes after a mixed growing season leaving many producers contemplating business management tools that could improve their long-term profitability. With FarmCash, producers may be eligible to receive cash advances up to $1 million with the first $100,000 interest free, and the remainder at our low interest rate of TD Prime minus 0.75 per cent.

“FarmCash is more than a cash advance to get above the red line during unforgiving seasons. It allows producers to invest long-term into their crops, farms and herds,” says Todd Hames, Alberta Wheat Commission chair. “FarmCash provides opportunities that set the stage for success through strategically planning input investments.”

The online application is geared towards the busy lifestyle of agricultural producers and designed to take the headache out of cash advance applications. Through time saving features such as the ability to accept e-signatures, an automatic calculator and a document upload feature, producers can expect an easy and convenient application process. FarmCash also has a dedicated and knowledgeable support team available five days a week via phone or email.

“We are extremely proud to offer this program to Alberta producers and provide them with a cash flow tool they can use to improve their long-term profitability, leverage the best market price and even enhance their land value,” says Syeda Khurram, chief operating officer of FarmCash.

Alberta producers interested in a fall advance through FarmCash can apply online at FarmCashAdvance.com or call 1-855-376-2274 to speak with a FarmCash representative today.

The Advance Payments Program is a federal loan program administered by the Alberta Wheat Commission. It offers Canadian farmers marketing flexibility through interest-free and low interest cash advances.
