The maturity of a short-term loan generally coincides with the normal production
cycle of the commodity being produced, usually one year or less. Most
often, loans are secured by a first lien on the crops or livestock to
be produced and the income and receivables they generate.
Operating loans are approved and structured on the basis of a projected
budget and cash flow so the repayment terms fit your operating needs.
