Special Report

from one of the gems of the PNW

I spent this past week at a conference in one of the gems of the Pacific Northwest, Coeur d’Alene. It was put on by the largest agriculture lender on the west coast. Those in attendance ranged from family farms to large conglomerates. When I was first invited, I was most interested in two of the guest speakers that would have presentations. As the date grew closer, I realized it would be a great opportunity to interview some of the largest ag businesses on their concerns about the regional banks.
