FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE

We have a 103 year-old banking problem in the farming industry, and most farmers have become complacent about it. We talk about this problem and how it’s affecting farmers by allowing the bank to have control of the farm and use farmers’ livelihood as collateral. You may never get rid of the bank completely, but you can sure try. The bank should be plan B, not plan A, and you can make that happen. This takes time, but you have to get started. Listen to hear how this banking problem began and what the solution is.
