Every year our local ag producers put it all on
the line. They deal with the weather, market
prices and more. It’s not a line of work for the
weak at heart. Keeping on top of the bottom
line with today’s farm operation takes a lot of
work and a strong banking relationship with a
bank that knows agriculture. You can bank on
our experience.

last year:
“Our women were
encouraged, built up, chal

the Lord. All the comments
we heard were positive and
came from true sincerity
and genuine appreciation
of the event - commenting
both on our planning o f
the event locally and also
the Simulcast content and
worship.”
“This event helped
to re-spark a fire in our
church. Our women were
starving for spiritual food
and we were truly feed. God
planted seeds that will see
benefits for years to come.
God brought a revival to
us. Thank you so much for
making this available.”
