Nov. 16, 2023 Source: Certified Agriculture Dealerships news release Westfield, NC - The Certified Agriculture Group (TCAG) is rolling out CADFi (Certified Agriculture Dealer Financing), the next evolution for the only agriculture program in the automotive industry. The Certified Agriculture Dealership Financing (CADFi) program seeks to bridge the gap in financing/leasing options for the farming and ranching industry. "What makes CADFi different from other financing/leasing opportunities are the irregular payment terms. When we finance/lease any of our equipment on our farm or ranch, we like to have payment terms that match our cash flow." noted Patrick Driscoll, CEO of The Certified Agriculture Group. "In looking at different segments of the industry, each has unique needs that must be met. Dairymen, they're ok with a monthly payment. Growers in the fruit, vegetable, and nut industry typically look at quarterly payments on everything because that is how they are paid. Cattlemen typically like paying twice a year on their equipment out of the calf crop, so a biannual payment would match that need," he further explained. "And last, but certainly not least, our row croppers like those annual payments, once a year. Much of the row crop money comes in at the end of harvest, and they need to make all the payments out of that money. So CADFi offers all of those payment options." The Certified Agriculture Dealer program, the 'mother program' to the Certified Agriculture Group, was born out of the famous "So God Made a Farmer" commercial from Ram Trucks that played during the 2013 Super Bowl. In the 11 years since: a. We have broadened the program to include dealers of all truck OEM brands. b. The AgPack package of rebates and discounts has grown to 19 AgPack Partners, with an aggregated value of over $32,000* c. AgPack eligibility has expanded to accommodate used truck sales, and orders. d. AgRally, a new annual, national farm show was started and is broadcast live on RFD-TV and the Cowboy Channel each year in March on National Ag Day. e. AgTruckTrader.com was created, launched and added to our vertically integrated stable of agricultural truck products, making it very easy for farmers and ranchers to find AgPack eligible trucks at all Certified Agricultural Dealers in the country. f. AgTruckTrader.com announced sponsorship of a five-member Pro Rodeo team in August of this year. g. This CADFi financing/leasing program is being launched to bridge the gap in financing/leasing options for farmers and ranchers. Aiming to allow farmers to make payments based on their income timeline. "We take pride in identifying the many gaps between the agriculture and automotive industries and filling them with meaningful solutions," says Jenni Wallace, CMO and vice president of operations. "Our proprietary training, AgPack, AgRally, CADFi, and AgTruckTrader.com products are the first and only agriculturally focused solutions in the automotive marketplace." CADFi has now made the process easier for everyone. Beginning the end of November, all the farmer or rancher needs to do is go to AgTruckTrader.com, register for their AgPack ID#, and shop the inventory of every Certified Ag Dealer across the country. Once they find the truck they want, they can either work directly with the dealership or get in contact with The Certified Agriculture Program (866-293-0885) to finance/lease their new or qualified pre-owned vehicle. Once this is complete, and any OEM or dealer discounts are added, they then give the dealer their AgPack ID# so they can immediately begin accessing all their AgPack benefits. If they didn't get an AgPack number first, or don't remember it, it's not a problem. Every Certified Agriculture Dealer can look up the customer's number, or get them a new one, in a matter of seconds. "If you finance/lease through AgTT.com you get CADFi. CADFi is where farmers and ranchers can also finance/lease their truck, accessories, and upgrades as well as bundle other farm operation expenses. You will be able to use it for the terms that suit your farm or ranch best. Whether that is monthly, bimonthly, annually, or biannually," noted Jay Holcomb, Certified Agriculture Dealership Advisory Council Chairman, general manager of Stephen Wade CDJR in Utah and a ranch owner himself. "For our ranching operation, we get a paycheck on our calves once a year. It is a stress-relief for me to be able to pay my truck or SUV payment once a year," he adds. "Now, thanks to CADFi we are going to be able to offer that, we can cater to the farmers' and ranchers' needs directly." Tweet |
