Liz Bayne - Business Consultant

I am pleased to announce that Liz Bayne is Yankee Farm Credit's new Business Consultant. This new position for Yankee provides additional services to members of the agricultural community needing assistance with a variety of complex financial issues including inter-generational transfers and business planning.

Liz, who works in our White River Jct., Vermont office, brings considerable experience to this new role. She started her career with Farm Credit in 1979 and has served in a variety of roles including credit, credit review, payroll and recordkeeping services, income tax preparation, and most recently, appraisal.

Liz is a Farm Credit Tax Specialist, an Enrolled Agent with the Internal Revenue Service, and a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser licensed in New Hampshire and Vermont. Through her appraisal work and her service on the Lands Committee of the Upper Valley Land Trust, she has considerable experience with conservation easements. This wide variety of experience provides an ideal background for her new role as Business Consultant which began October 1st.

Liz will continue to have responsibilities in appraisal and tax preparation and she will continue to report to Director of Financial Services Geoff Yates. She will also work closely with consultants from Farm Credit East, particularly Bill Zweigbaum.

Please join me in congratulating Liz on her new role. We at Yankee Farm Credit are pleased to offer these additional consulting services to the agricultural community. If you have a consulting question, please contact Liz at 802-295-3670 or elizabeth.bayne@yankeeaca.com.
