Farm Credit Canada offers customer support

Jan 14, 2022 | 2:52 PM

LETHBRIDGE, AB. — Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is reminding customers that they are there to provide support through difficult times.

FCC president and CEO Michael Hoffort said they have seen how resilient farmers and processors have been over the past several months having dealt with everything from weather and supply chain issues to dealing with the fifth wave of the pandemic. However, he said everyone needs help from time to time.

“If you are a producer concerned about having the cash flow required to plant your crop or feed your livestock, or you are a food processor feeling the impact of lost production due to a supply chain disruption, FCC is here to support you,” Hoffort said. “Customer support is a cornerstone of our business and it’s challenging times like these where we can help.”

Hoffort said FCC will work with customers to come up with solutions for their operations on a case-by-case basis, which may include principal payment deferrals and/or other loan payment schedule amendments to reduce financial pressures these circumstances may create.
