About the webinar:

This webinar will use agriculture as a timely case study, but the lessons apply well beyond the ag industry. With farm bankruptcies rising sharply and financial pressure increasing across the sector, credit teams have a valuable opportunity to examine how distress first appears before a bankruptcy filing or formal legal process begins.

• Early warning signs, including changes in payment behavior, communication, ordering patterns, or customer circumstances
• How financial distress may appear differently from the wholesale and retail perspectives
• Triage decisions, such as when to continue terms, reduce exposure, hold shipments, move to COD, or request additional security
• Workout options, including payment plans, partial payments, and difficult customer conversations
• Internal escalation, including when to involve sales, management, legal, operations, or other stakeholders
• The human side of distressed credit, especially in an industry where personal relationships matter.
