As of September 22nd summer is officially over and we are now into the fall harvest season in BC. This can be a stressful time for a farmer, waiting for the right weather to harvest your crops to store them for the winter. With many tasks to complete before the first frost, the smart farmers are already planning for their 2018 equipment needs. Here are a few reasons why fall is the perfect time for buying new farm equipment in BC.

  • Farmers have a better idea of their financial situation post-harvest, this helps determine how much profit they can reinvest in some new equipment.
  • In the summer there is typically a higher demand for equipment, this makes negotiating deals more difficult and potentially more expensive. In the fall, equipment dealers are looking to clear inventory in preparation for the upcoming spring.
  • For many farmers, December 31st is their financial year end as it coincides with their growing seasons. Purchasing equipment at the end of their fiscal year is a good income tax deferral strategy and can free up capital for other investments into their farm.

If you are planning on selling older equipment to generate cash flow to assist with your equipment upgrades, post-harvest is an excellent time to liquidate old assets as well!
