Today I received formal approval for a property purchase. It was complex, servicing was tight and involved many finance extensions on the contract. I know what my emotions were like during this process. I can only imagine what this was like for my client. #ausag #agrifinance #brokerinyourcorner

NC Senator @LisaStonesBarnes get all the perks! Ironically, when *I* don't pay my mortgage, the bank comes and takes my house. Not sure how she is able to get away with not paying her bills. Her "family farm" is 20k acres and spans 3 counties. I think she might have a few coins in her purse. . .

African leaders pledged $100bn and 10% of national income to agriculture under CAADP, but smallholder farmers, who produce 90% of Africa's food, still get <1% of the finance they need. Funding that does flow is often politicised, delayed, or lost in the system.
