and their banks deal with every crop
cycle, " he adds, " and we're looking at
the same thing again now in 2024. "
BTC Bank helps buff er these
headwinds by talking to customers
about strategies like forward
pricing (a contract between buyer
and seller that locks in a price for
a product to be delivered at a later
time) and using live crop production
protection coverage.
Farmers and community banks
know that agriculture is a long game
that doesn't produce immediate
results, but neither do most other
types of business. However, in the
ag business, there's another factor:
Mother Nature can play a major role
in whether crops and other goods
become saleable merchandise or not.
Still, agriculture propels its
communities and their economies
forward. That's why BTC Bank
operates on these three pillars: youth,
agriculture and community.
" We're very active in each of these
areas, knowing that all three are
vital to rural America's continued
survival, " says Fish. " We provide
support in many diff erent ways and
hope all three continue to be strong in
all of the markets we serve. "
