FORT WORTH, Texas (Oct. 4, 2022) \u2014 Ag Resource Management (ARM)<\/strong> has expanded its customized financial solutions to meet the specific needs of more farming operations. Now, more growers may access operating lines at competitive rates without encumbering real estate and equipment equity.<\/p>\n Inflation, high input costs, crop price volatility and higher interest rates can all lead to increased risk and inhibit operations from growing and thriving. However, ARM\u2019s unique financing structure and personalized approach can enable farmers to advance their operations despite the volatile agricultural market.<\/p>\n \u201cARM has been working with farmers in the crop production lending space for 14 years. We help farmers structure financial solutions that suit their unique situations,\u201d says Mark Branch, co-founder and president of ARM. \u201cThese can include a farmer just starting out, growing or streamlining an operation or navigating short-term challenges. We are forward-looking and base our decisions on production capacity and capability rather than hard equity. ARM finances agriculture, differently.\u201d<\/p>\n The ARM difference is twofold:<\/p>\n 1. ARM loans utilize the intended crop, crop insurance and government payments as collateral, giving farmers the option to manage risk more effectively and to leverage their equity in land and equipment elsewhere. Once an application is completed, ARM\u2019s efficient process allows for most loan decisions to be made in days instead of weeks. As a result, farmers have fast access to the capital they need to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n \u201cARM is dedicated to preserving the American farmer\u2019s way of life,\u201d says John Hoffman, CEO of ARM. \u201cNot only do we provide loans to farmers, but we also help them navigate challenges in the market in order to effectively manage risk and hold onto the wealth they have worked so hard for.\u201d<\/p>\n ARM\u2019s loan officers are dedicated partners with deep ag finance expertise. ARM is equipped to help farmers meet financial obligations and build equity utilizing valuable analytics and ARM-specific tools to help keep operations performing and profitable. ARM\u2019s proprietary Synthesis\uf8ea platform and customer portal help farmers make sound financial decisions while enabling efficient, effective financial management.<\/p>\n Learn more about how ARM is helping farmers achieve their production and profitability goals by visiting armlend.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Farmers can access operating loans without leveraging real estate and equipment FORT WORTH, Texas (Oct. 4, 2022) \u2014 Ag Resource Management (ARM) has expanded its customized financial solutions to meet the specific needs of more farming operations.
