In 2012, the Treasurer’s office introduced a fast track version of the Ag Invest program, which helps eligible financial institutions serve their Ag Invest clients more effectively by shortening the approval process from 10 business days to just 24 - 48 hours. Agricultural professionals across the state have taken advantage of our below-market rates to help grow their farm operations.
