The Farm Cash Management® program combines the availability of a revolving line of credit with the high return of a short-term investment account. The program saves you money by putting your funds to work where they generate the best return. Returns are far superior to the investment option of a low interest savings account.
Here's How It Works
- When you have cash available, your operating loan is paid first and excess funds are then invested in an account comprised of AgriBank investment bonds.
- These bonds pay interest at rates that are significantly higher than what can be earned on typical commercial bank accounts – like checking, savings, money markets and certificates of deposit (CDs).
- When you need cash for operating expenses, the investment account funds are used first, before advancing funds on your operating loan, helping to minimize your operating loan interest cost.
Quick Access
- Funds are immediately available by writing a draft on your revolving line of credit
- Funds can be transferred via the Internet or by phone
- Farm Cash Management investment funds are liquid and available at any time
Unlimited Disbursements
- Farm Cash Management has no limits on the number of drafts that can be written or the number of electronic funds transfers that can be made.
- There are no monthly or per check fees.
Tax Exempt
- Interest earned on AgriBank investment bonds is exempt from state and local income tax, so the tax-adjusted annual yield is even higher.

- Using Farm Cash Management is as simple as making a loan payment or writing a draft on your operating loan.
