The session will be delivered by interim RIC chief executive officer Matt Ryan at Orange Ex-Services’ Club from 9.30am-11am on Wednesday, October 31.
Mr Ryan said while the loans were available to “regular farmers” there were many other direct and indirect agriculture stakeholders who would benefit from attending the session.
“I want to personally invite all local accountants, financial advisors, banks and other service providers who farmers go to for financial advice,” he said.
Our priority is bringing them up to speed on our loans, their uses and the application process so when farmers go to them for advice, they’ll know how our loans might be able to help.
