THE PROBLEM · AG UNDERWRITING
Your riskiest exposure is written on the backs of tax returns.
Annual financials are 9 months stale
By the time you have last year's Schedule F, this year's drought already happened.
Covenant breaches arrive as surprises
DSCR and working capital slip quietly between reviews. You find out at the next renewal.
Due diligence is a scavenger hunt
Receipts, 1099-PATR, crop insurance schedules. Every renewal is another three-week scramble.
Portfolio view is a spreadsheet
Aggregated ag exposure lives in a tab that's last-saved two Fridays ago.
