What is a farm cash advance?
The Advance Payments Program (APP) cash advance from CCGA is a valuable financing tool that supports the working capital needs of your farm when you need it.
Reduce your borrowing costs and enhance your marketing plan with a farmer-friendly cash flow tool that’s become an integral part of many farmers’ annual plans.
A cash advance offers up to $1,000,000 in cash flow to farmers, with:
- Up to $250,000 interest-free*;
- Prime rate less 0.25% on the interest-bearing portion;
- Funds available on over 50 conventional and organic commodities, including all major field crops, large and small livestock, and honey.
*The interest-free limit was increased to $250,000 on March 25, 2024.
Here’s how a cash advance can benefit you:
You’ll reduce your short-term financing costs. APP’s low interest rates will save you significantly on interest compared to other financing options.
You can sell when the time and price are best. The cash flow from an advance can help take care of your short-term financing needs, giving you the flexibility to wait to sell.
You can borrow with minimal collateral. Just starting out on the farm? No problem. Your commodity is your security — just make sure you have crop insurance or AgriStability for unharvested crops or livestock.
