Participants Say …
“With our trainer’s background in banking, he knew what a loan officer would be looking for when a farmer is applying for financing. This really helped me as a young small business owner to be more aware of the whole picture of financing, banking and lending. We recently got a $95,000 loan for a refrigerated vehicle through RFSI, which is helping us grow our business.” — Ryan Sullivan, Sullivan Family Farm
