A significant element to most ranches is your finances, which means a relationship with a banking institution. But could you do what you’re doing, now, without the bank… or maybe just less of a reliance on a bank? Mary Jo Irmen, Author of the book Farming Without the Bank is my guest as we discuss her book and a concept of what she believes could be a useful financing tool for those of us in agricultural operations. But if you think this show is all about selling this concept… think again.
