Payment schedule

This is the farmer's 1st loan from HeavyFinance out of 6 planned at the moment.

The project owner inherited the farm in 1980. He owns 86 hectares and has 134 hectares of long-term leases. He manages the farm with the help of his wife and children.

The main business is breeding dairy cows - the farmer has 40 cows as well as 10 heifers - (mixed meat race/HF-Holstein Friesian), which are high dairy under the PFHBiPM (Polish federation of cattle breeders and dairy farmers). The farmer produces animal fodder himself, and therefore grows corn (50ha), meadows (36ha), grain mixtures for feed (16ha), and sunflower (120ha).
The project owner has a permanent milk contract with Maspex which is one of the biggest companies in the food products segment in Central & Eastern Europe.

The following machinery is used on the farm:

  • Class Medion combine
  • John Deere 7400 field forage harvester (2005)
  • Maschio seeder (2008)
  • Kuhn corn seeder (2010)
  •  Manitou loader
  • Case tractor (2004)
  • Fend tractor (1998)
  • barrel truck
  • forage truck

In 2018 a fire broke out on the farm through the buildings and straw storage. In 2015 the area where the farm is located was hit by drought, the farmer harvested only 30% of the planned crop. Despite all these difficulties, the farmer continues to run a profitable farm.

Additionally, the farmer also has pellet production, which is currently very profitable and helped to raise the income in the current year. During the 6 months of 2022, the farmer has secured an income of over €160k, showing a rapid growth from €86k in 2021 (around 120% incremental from last year).

The loan from HeavyFinance will allow the farmer to increase the size of the pellet production. Goods from the farmer are collected by the CHP plant in Elbląg.

The revenue for 2022 consists of 10 145 € in subsidies.
The revenue for 2021 consists of 10 033 € in subsidies.
