PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cash-Flow-Model.com Releases Farming Video on Cash Flow Planning, Operating Forecasting, and Negotiating Funding with Confidence.
Inspired by the Sawtooth Farms experience, the new video encourages farmers to understand their numbers before committing capital — and before sitting down with their bank or lender.
Chicago, IL — October 6, 2026 — Owning or buying a farm is one thing. Having enough cash to operate it is another. A new Farming video from Cash-Flow-Model.com brings that distinction into focus, showing how financial modeling can help farmers anticipate operating capital needs and negotiate funding options with confidence.
The 85-second video launches the platform’s public Video Insights series. Inspired by experience acquiring and operating Sawtooth Farms, a 5,312-acre farm and ranch near Declo, Idaho, it connects farm financial modeling with the decisions farmers face when buying, financing, operating, or expanding an agricultural business.
Seed, fertilizer, equipment, labor, and loan payments often require cash months before harvest proceeds arrive. An operation may project a profit for the year while still needing additional capital to meet obligations along the way. Understanding the timing and size of those requirements provides a stronger foundation for both operating decisions and funding discussions.
The video follows the recent launch of Cash-Flow-Model.com’s Farming financial model, which projects revenue, operating expenses, equipment investments, and funding over 84 months.
A central message is that farmers can use those projections as a negotiating tool. Organized financial information helps explain how much funding is needed, when it is needed, what it will support, and how repayment fits the operation’s projected cash flow.
When a lender or investor proposes a different interest rate, repayment period, or funding structure, farmers can change the assumptions and review the financial effects. That gives them a practical basis for comparing proposals, asking questions, and negotiating terms they understand.
The model’s “what-if” capabilities also allow users to change crop yields, selling prices, operating expenses, and investment assumptions, then examine the effects on projected cash flow, Operating Breakeven, and Ending Bank Balance.
Those comparisons address everyday agricultural decisions: whether an equipment purchase fits the operation, how much cash may be required before harvest, how lower production or higher costs could affect funding needs, and whether proposed loan payments fit the timing of projected receipts.
The resulting integrated GAAP-compliant financial projections can be viewed, downloaded, and printed for discussions with bankers, lenders, investors, partners, and advisers. The completed model also provides a budget and operating benchmark against which farmers can compare actual performance.
The objective is straightforward: help farmers understand their financial position, evaluate their choices, and enter funding discussions prepared to explain and negotiate their requirements.
