Meet Thomas. He's your CFO,
and he knows the specialty crop business.

Most specialty crop growers don't have a CFO — or someone with the time to think like one. Thomas fills that gap. He proactively monitors your finances, flags risks before they become problems, and surfaces opportunities you might not see until it's too late.

Market Intelligence

Live USDA shipping point prices, diesel, fertilizer, and packaging costs — updated continuously. Thomas watches the inputs that shape your margins.

Cash Flow Visibility

Know where you stand between harvest and next season's inputs. Thomas tracks your draws, repayments, and seasonal gaps automatically.

Proactive Alerts

Thomas flags margin risk, unusual cost spikes, and credit opportunities as they happen, not after the season's already decided.

Labor Cost Tracking

See what labor is actually costing you against budget, by block or by crew, before it eats your margin.

Contract & Deduction Analysis

Thomas reads your marketing agreements and settlements to show you exactly what's being deducted, and whether it's in line.

What are my biggest input cost risks heading into next month?

Three things worth watching:

Diesel is up 2.1% over the last week — if you're running heavy equipment or depending on trucking, that'll hit margins.

Corrugated packaging is up 1.4% with more movement expected.

Ammonium nitrate is actually down 0.8%, so if you're planning a fertilizer run, timing is on your side.

Want me to model how these move your cost-per-acre for this season?

Cash flow and contracts matter. Not collateral.

Most lenders underwrite against land, equipment, or balance sheet history, not the marketing contracts that actually determine a grower's cash flow. Thombar does.

A seasoned operator, first-time owner unable to fulfill a multi-million dollar contract due to cash constraints

Before Thombar

Could only fulfill 10% of a six-figure weekly contract with a major packer/shipper.

After Thombar

Thombar extended credit against his marketing contracts alone, even though his cash flow history wasn't there yet. He caught up on input invoices and went on to close an additional contract with a national retail chain.

An experienced, diversified grower borrowing from a sister company to cover labor and input expenses

Before Thombar

Orders were capped by cash on hand. He was borrowing from a sister company just to make payroll and pay suppliers on time.

After Thombar

Thombar extended credit against his cash flow and existing contracts, looking at the fuller picture most lenders miss. He started paying suppliers directly and put an end to the inter-company borrowing.
