Agriculture is a $44 billion dollar a year industry.  Producers, processors and other agribusinesses combine to make some of the highest quality products in the nation and worldwide.  From the largest dairy farm, to the smallest niche farming operations, agribusinesses in Pennsylvania are seeking the capital they need to begin, continue or expand their operations. 

 

Secretary of Agriculture, Dennis C Wolff explains, “Most farmers don’t have a Chief Financial Officer to help fill out paperwork for government loan programs, and many lenders don’t understand the Schedule F on a farm tax return.  Pairing financial assistance from DCED with technical assistance from PDA helps everyone in the process.”

 

PAgrows, under the direction of Secretary of Agriculture Dennis C Wolff, specializes in helping farmers, food processors, farmers market operators, and other agricultural businesses put all of the pieces of this lending puzzle together.

 

Pennsylvania agribusinesses, through a number of state and federal programs have access to grants and low interest loans which help to compliment private and local lender funding.  PAgrows is designed to
help agribusiness put all of the pieces of this lending puzzle together.
