Ind. (WTHI) – Annual crop and production reporting is a recurring headache for farmers, but a newly launched <a href="https://bitcomme.com/state-disqualifies-treg-taylor-from-governor-race-due-to-financial-violation/” title=”State disqualifies Treg Taylor from governor race due to financial violation”>financial technology company is aiming to change that
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), farmers frequently face significant setbacks when completing their annual crop and production performance reports. Experts with Fallow Ag, an agricultural fintech startup, warn that these administrative hurdles can negatively impact farming operations.
The root of the issue often lies in communication
“The whole operation actually exists in the farmer’s head; they know it better than anyone else,” Iqbal said. “But it’s very hard for them to communicate that to somebody else in a way that’s legible, that can be used to underwrite or do other things.”
To solve this problem, Fallow Ag is building a single, comprehensive record that combines the various scattered reports farm operations produce. By consolidating this data, the platform aims to significantly improve reporting accuracy from a lender’s perspective.
For local operators, this consolidated view is a welcome shift from traditional accounting tools.
“It helps just see where we’re at as far as financially,” said Ethan Anson of Anson Farms. “It brings the whole picture together. That’s something that QuickBooks and other programs that we use haven’t really been able to accomplish.”
Ultimately, Iqbal says the goal is to break down barriers to necessary capital.
“We will help farmers not only improve their operations, but we will also help them get access to credit without all of the rigmarole that that takes today,” Iqbal said.
Fallow Ag has officially launched its platform. For more details on the company’s services or to find out how you can request a briefing, visit wthitv.com.
