Welcome Gary Pike

Gary Pike will start a new column in the June edition of Grainews, which will arrive in mailboxes in two or three weeks. The column is called The Big Picture. Gary Pike is the CEO of Pike Management Group (PMG) in Calgary. PMG provides management, marketing, business planning advice and coaching to PMG members who influence 2.5 million acres in Western Canada.

In column No.1, Gary recommends that you negotiate your 2009 credit needs now. The premise behind this advice is the simple fact that lending companies in the U.S. and Canada are in a credit crunch and many have put limits on access to mortgage capital.

Gary's insight into the world of agriculture and beyond will be a great asset to Grainews readers. To read ahead about Gary and PMG, visit www.agcoach.ca or call us toll free 1-877-410-7595.
