Local Cents by Pillar Bank

Although it still may be fall harvest for many producers, we're looking ahead to 2024.  On this episode of Local Cents by Pillar Bank, we sit down with Mike DeLong, Ag Banker at Pillar Bank, and discuss year end planning.  What considerations should a farmer look at when planning for 2024 crop inputs?  Does financing equipment before the end of the year make sense for your operation?  We answer these questions and more!
