Tull Hill Farms doesn’t own that building,
but a sharp management decision
made it one of their best assets.
Jimmy and Michael Hill, Tull Hill Farms, Kinston, North Carolina
The Hill family was ready to pay cash for a new 80,000 square foot storage
facility for Tull Hill Farms. They changed their mind when Telmark explained how
much they could save by leasing the facility instead. Their sharp management
decision saved profits by adding to the bottom line with a Telmark operating lease.
They also have a buyout option at the end of the lease term.
The Hill family found the tax breaks, end-of-term buyout option, and
flexible payment plan so attractive, they leased the complete facility. Most lenders
aren’t ready to offer this kind of alternative financing.
Telmark understands building and equipment financing needs for all types of
commercial and agricultural operations. For a financing source that’s been listening
to farmers for over 30 years, call your Telmark representative or 800-451 -3322.
