AFSC upgrading lending system

Jun 14, 2022

Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) has upgraded our lending system to better serve our clients.

The upgrade is a modernized loan management system that is scalable to meet the growing financing needs of the agricultural industry. Timely loan approvals, direct access to information, and trusted technology are key pillars of AFSC’s delivery commitment to clients. This change meets all these requirements.

“AFSC is committed to agriculture, and we have developed applications to support lending across the entire value chain,” said Kevin Chanut, Vice President Lending. “The new platform will enable us to better meet the needs of Alberta’s diverse agriculture and agribusiness industries.”

As we work through the implementation process there may be some delays in processing times. AFSC is committed to minimizing any disruption to service, so please speak with your Relationship Manager Lending if you have questions or concerns.

Video: John Deere 500R Sprayer | Next-Generation Booms for Ultimate Precision

Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
