Description
We move from early Christmas commercials to an even earlier priority: getting serious about 2027 planning while harvest is still rolling. We talk with Scott Sartor about the $8B harvest fuel relief announcement, diesel buying strategy, and why lenders are zeroing in on break-even cost of production.
• export sales and futures closes for corn, soybeans, wheat, cattle, and hogs
• what the USDA fuel relief timeline could mean for cash flow and expectations
• why FSA-certified acres and login.gov readiness matter before applications open
• how seasonal diesel dips create opportunity if working capital and storage are in place
• using a profit matrix to connect yield, price, and cost of production
• how lenders stress test budgets and why clear variance explanations help renewals
• what Scott hears lenders asking most: cost of production and break-even numbers
• the impact of input financing and “ghost” debt on a farm’s borrowing capacity
• building farm sustainability by moving profits to the balance sheet over time
