Farm Cash Management SM
Farm Cash Management (FCM)
is a convenient way to earn significant income from cash-on-hand. It combines
the high return of a short-term investment account with the convenience of your
Farm Credit Midsouth revolving line-of-credit. Farms and other qualifying
businesses that experience periods when cash accumulates should find
FCM beneficial. Self-funding operations that
maintain an open line of credit just for emergencies or special opportunities
may also find FCM valuable.
Benefits of FCM:
- Pays a very good interest rate for a liquid investment.
- Earnings are exempt from state and local income taxes.
- The cost of borrowing is reduced because investment earnings both delay
and reduce the need to draw on your line-of-credit.
- Provides automatic funds management for maximum convenience and
simplicity.
How FCM Works:
Investing in an FCM
account is as simple as making a payment on a loan. In fact, you have the same
choice of methods: in person, by mail, or electronic. Whenever a payment is
greater than the balance in your revolving line-of-credit,
FCM automatically invests your surplus in short-term, AgriBank
Investment Bonds. Interest accrues on these bonds daily and is added to your
investment at month’s end. You have access to your money at all times and can
draw on your investment account the same way you would draw on your
line-of-credit -- just complete a draft or transfer funds electronically. If you
draw out more funds than your investment and earnings total,
FCM will automatically access your
line-of-credit. This means you’ll delay incurring any interest expense until
after all your invested funds and earnings have been used!
About AgriBank and its Investment Bonds:
AgriBank, FCB, is a financial institution that
provides various services to Farm Credit Midsouth plus the funds needed to make
loans. In the same way that member-borrowers cooperatively own Farm Credit
Midsouth, AgriBank is owned by Farm Credit Midsouth and the other associations
AgriBank serves.
Most of the funds AgriBank provides are obtained through the Federal Farm
Credit Banks Funding Corporation. It sells bonds through brokers on Wall Street.
But AgriBank can also issue its own bonds and offer them to the members,
employees, and retirees of the associations it serves. Selling these bonds
reduces AgriBank’s dependence on the funding corporation and funds that are
invested in AgriBank Investment Bonds are used to fund loans made by the
associations served by AgriBank.
About Investment Risk:
AgriBank Investment Bonds are backed solely by
AgriBank, FCB. They are not insured or guaranteed by any government body or the
Farm Credit System. For information on AgriBank, FCB, its assets and financial
condition, that describes the 7TH district
and provides .PDF files of financial reports click "here".
About Investment Return:
AgriBank Investment Bonds pay very attractive
rates and the earnings are not subject to state or local income taxes. Rates
vary with changing economic conditions.
