Growing Family Farm

Our farm started with just one quarter section and we've since grown it to 7,000 acres. There have been many ups and downs along the way. At times, my father and I have worked off-farm jobs to make sure the farm still operated, and regulars banks have always helped our farm.

However, over the last 5 years, the weather wasn’t very cooperative. As always, you get the good with the bad, and as the weather negatively impacted our farm, the banks helped out to a point. They understood what was going on for the first couple years, but when the weather still didn’t give us a break, the banks stopped as well. They'd tighten their loans and back us into a corner, and we felt that all we could do was to sell the farm. We didn’t know what to do.

Then we happened to be introduced to Agri Fit & Fit Capital by a trusted agricultural advisor who understood the issues of our farm. My advisor and I decided to phone them, which is when we met a nice gentleman, Scott Robertson. We explained our situation, and within a couple days, he drove up to our farm and promised to help get everything on track by finding the best possible banking relationship, and he did just that. Our farm is finally stable again.

Scott and his team fights for you and your farm. They want you to succeed. He always answers a phone call or text, regardless of whether it's on weekends or after normal working hours. As a farmer, we don't work a traditional work week, and it's nice that this team of pros understands that. Even if someone's farm isn't experiencing the same problems we had, I will always recommend these groups to anyone for their financial needs. If you need to switch banks, or if you feel you need a better deal to grow your farm, they will always be there. I consider them to be part of the farm and family, given how they helped improve and grow the farm. I wish we knew about Agri Fit & Fit Capital 5 years earlier.
