The following could be of interest to some of you to check-out and explore…..
- Two weeks ago, the Ohio Treasurer’s office announced the opening of the 2021 Ag-LINK application period.
- During the application period, which will remain open through March 19, farm operators and agribusinesses can receive an interest rate reduction on new or existing operating loans up to $150,000.
- Loans made available through Ag-LINK can help finance the upfront operating costs for feed, seed, fertilizer, fuel, and other costs.
- You can learn more about Ag-LINK and the current application period by visiting the links listed at the conclusion of this email. Additionally, the Treasurer’s office regularly shares information and updates related to Ag-LINK via its Twitter and Facebook accounts (@OhioTreasurer).
- By helping to spread the word to Ohio’s agriculture community, we hope more farmers and agribusinesses will consider the Ag-LINK program as they prepare for the upcoming growing season.
- If you would like additional information on the Ag-LINK program, please don’t hesitate to reach out at any time.
