The Arizona agricultural industry is vital to the economy not only locally, but also worldwide. With Colorado River water shortage and rising concerns of climate change, how do we sustain this $23 billion industry that supports over 138,000 jobs?
In this episode of Financial Cents, Brent Cannon sits down with two members of the National Bank of Arizona Agribusiness team, Matt Eyrich, senior vice president – regional commercial manager – agribusiness banking, and Carrie Morales, vice president – team lead – agribusiness banking, to discuss everything in the Arizona agriculture industry. Carrie and Matt lend their insights from working directly with farmers to discuss the large scope of the Arizona Ag industry, the 5 C’s of Arizona, water, sustainability, and climate change.
All the way from cattle in Northern Arizona to cotton and wheat in Central Arizona to the salad capital in Yuma; Arizona agriculture and farming exports to over 70 countries around the world. As Matt Eyrich explains, “whether you’re talking about in Yuma or Central Arizona, we pretty much have year-round crops going on here. So, unlike the Midwest or farther north where you have a definite season because winter comes… there’s something always going on in Arizona.”
Financial Cents is hosted by Brent Cannon, executive vice president and director of community banking, and features insightful interviews and discussions with bankers at National Bank of Arizona. Based on decades of banking experience, Financial Cents provides the insights you can only get from a friend in the business.
