Row Crop Values, Current Ratio, & Wingdinger

In terms of financial success, what is your farm doing well, and what can be better?  On this episode of The High Ground, powered by Premier Companies, Louis McIntire and Grant Vondielingen join hosts Ryan Priest and Sal Sama in the studio.  Grant is the Director of Credit at Premier Companies, and Louis is the Vice President at CoBank.  Louis has a passion for financial benchmarking and provides you with the tools you need to compare your financial success to row crop farmers from all over the United States.  On this episode, Sal, Ryan, Grant, and Louis compare the top third performers in grain farmers versus the bottom third performers in grain farmers and shows why our situation today is not similar to the ‘70s and ‘80s.  Louis shares several decades of financial trends, 2022 cropland values by state, and why values are increasing.  You can find all of this information on the website, but you’re still going to want to grab a pen and paper.  As Ryan says, “It’s a real wing dinger!”
