ATTENTION FARMERS!
Many of our farming members will soon be receiving a
request from MCU to fill out an AGRIPAC which provides the
necessary information to
complete their annual line of credit review. We ask that you
complete the net worth statement as of December 31st or
your corporate year-end and bring in a copy of your 2019
income tax return once it is completed.
If you are running the Microsoft Excel program and are
connected to the internet you can download a computerized
version of the FARMPLAN that will save you countless hours
when completing this statement. This program is available
on the Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives web
page and is called Farmplan-Financial and Production
Software.
https://www.gov.mb.ca/agriculture/farm-management/
financial-management/pubs/software_farmplan_v2.xls
You will have a permanent record on your computer of your
financial statement that is quickly and
simply updated or changed year after year.
If you have any questions in regard to
completing the AGRIPAC or using the
computer software FARMPLAN, please
contact Terry (204)867-6363, Debbie
(204)867-6360
or Chris (204) 867-6359.
