“CFA is such a great tool for our field marketers and managers. It
helps them in selling the product, helps in timing of grain marketing - it is
more than just funding the producer’s inputs,” said Brent Heizelman, Credit
Manager for MKC.
Steve Fenton, Portfolio Manager for CFA, presented the award to
MKC and said that, “MKC is a fantastic group to work with. Our goal is to help
MKC and their producers be successful, and in turn make CFA successful.”
CFA serves over 140 cooperatives in 13 different states. Over the
2012 crop year MKC generated 171 loans totaling over $20 million.
Heizelman stated that the loans offered through CFA present the
farmer member with convenience more than anything else. “It is so convenient
for the producer to not have to worry about how he is going to pay for his
fertilizer or seed one month after he purchases it,” said Heizelman.
Dave Christiansen, President and CEO for MKC commented that the
number of loans and total loan volume continues to grow.
“While the recognition for our efforts is certainly nice for our
entire team, the loan volume demonstrates our efforts are working to insure
customers can have the available capital at their fingertips to take advantage
of opportunities when they present themselves,” stated Christiansen. “CFA gives
us one more tool to help them manage their risk.”
