When Prissels decided to expand their
dairy operation, they also wanted
to milk available tax advantages.
Randy, Dennis, Brian and Scott Pnssel, Pnssel Valley Farms, Durand, Wisconsin
Prissels chose a “True Tax” lease. In fact, they leased a milking
parlor, free stall barns, silos and other farm equipment. Along with
fixed and 100% tax deductible lease payments, the leases protected
their equity ratios by providing off balance sheet financing.
They chose Telmark for its knowledge of the dairy industry,
service and reputation for financing. They also enjoyed
working with their Telmark representative who
personally knows the ups and downs of farming.
By financing with a lease, terms were kept to a
minimum, allowing for the continued growth of the
operation. Telmark’s quick response allowed the
Prissels to move quickly into their dairy expansion.
J j r Telmark s Scott Vosters
For a financing source that’s been listening to with Brian Pnssel
farmers for over 35 years, contact your local Telmark representative:
