How to Write Checks for Farm Services

OVERVIEW:

There are two methods for writing checks to Farm Services and it depends on how they handle the payments.

 

In scenario 1, they require their name be added to the check as a lienholder and the farmer will have to take their check to them to get a signature and work out payment.

 

In Scenario 2, Farm Services has the elevator call them when grain is hauled in. The elevator tells them what commodity and how many bushels were hauled. Then Farm Services tells the elevator the dollar amount owed to them for those bushels.

 

* You will need to have a Name ID set up for Farm Services for both scenarios.

 

HOW TO FOR SCENERIO 1:

First go into the farmer’s name id by going to NAM>Name Address Maintenance>View/Edit Name Address

Enter the Name ID

Go to #7 relationships

Select Lienholders

Enter the Farm Service Name ID. If you are doing multiple commodities, you can enter it multiple times. Hit next.

Enter the Commodities

Hit Save/Exit

Now when you produce a settlement for the commodity with a lienholder, you will get a settlement with the farmer’s name.

And a check with both names

Forms can be edited so that either the check stub or the settlement display the Name ID and Lienholder, but it is not the default in the system. Contact support if you need assistance.

 

HOW TO FOR SCENERIO 2:

Apply and delivery sheet grain as normal. When settling chose to adjust splits.

Enter the farms services name id below the farmer’s. Hit OK.

 

 

Hit ok.

Type in the amount that will be paid to each name id. Hit ok.

You can add text into the Other Reference box or hit OK.

If any of this amount is to be directed as an AR payment you can type it in this box or leave it blank and hit OK.

Choose your usual payment method, for this example I am choosing Check.

Our standard forms will show the settlement done in the farmer’s name but have the check split printed with both name ids below.

You will get two checks written, one to each name id.
