ComputersThere are certain sets of Financial Papers that we generally turn in at the beginning of each year at our lending institution. When we pick up our “loan packages” from the lender generally there is a general sinking feeling and those papers are automatically tossed on the dashboard of the pick-up, they’re to get crimped, crumpled, soiled and still blank. Finally, they are retreated brought inside and the agonizing process begins. Being a Guaranty Loan Packager myself since 1989, I have seen most of all the stories any of the Ag producers would care to share with me. I have seen the pitiful looks, the total despair and the oh woe is me’s that each one of you have had. So when we begin our journey down the paper path, try to stay positive because this is the backbone of what you are doing.
