Karl Cross farms 185 acres of Concord and Niagara grapes in Silver Creek, NY. Farm Credit financial service specialists John Kotar and Felicia Lawson provide Karl with complete records and tax services. Karl shared his experience with Financial Partner magazine:

“I grew up on the farm and took over after high school. After doing my own taxes that first year, I vowed never again. I wanted to work with agricultural specialists instead. Now my records and taxes are in one place, and I know who to call.

I mail monthly register books to Felicia. She prepares my records, usually in just a few days. I use them to keep up to date on inventories and everything else. John and Felicia also help me through the tough months with payroll support too. They prepare my FICA calculations, quarterly and year-end reports. When the IRS sends regulation changes or payroll tax letters, I just call Felicia.

Each Fall, John comes to the farm to review my tax planning options. I can do a lot more for myself out in the vineyards than I can with a pen behind my desk.”
