Yankee has been attending NOFA's winter conference for quite a few years now and during that time we have seen this conference grow tremendously. The theme for this 3 day event held at the University of Vermont was "Growing Outside the Box". NOFA put together a great variety of workshops and speakers that directly related to that theme.
Yankee had a variety of staff attend the conference. Some even broke away from the booth to listen to a few presentations. Dave Lane, Senior Loan Officer, participated in a lenders panel titled "Financing Your Dream Farm."
Attending the NOFA Winter Conference emphasized something here at Yankee that we have always known: Vermont farmers are unique and innovative. There are some exciting things happening out there and at Yankee, we are interested in financing all types of Agriculture - big or small, organic or conventional. If your ag operation is somewhat unique and you aren't sure if you would qualify, give one of our loan officers a call - let's talk!
