If you work with Growers Edge Input Financing, here’s who you’re talking to.
Input Financing gets growers the seed, fertilizer, and crop protection they need without tying up their cash, through a network of agricultural retailer and dealer partners. Three people run that program day to day: one sets the retailer strategy, two manage the partner relationships that keep deals moving.
If you’re a retailer, lender, or partner working with Growers Edge, here’s who they are.
Michael Hoffstatter, Managing Director
Michael J. Hoffstatter is a commercial and business development leader with more than 15 years driving revenue growth, market expansion, and channel partnerships across agriculture, commercial lending, and heavy equipment. He serves as Managing Director of Input Financing at Growers Edge Financial.
Michael owns the program end to end: partner sales, business development, marketing, and operations. The financing reaches growers through a multi-channel network of agricultural retailer and dealer partners, and much of Michael’s focus is on building the commercial engine behind that model: campaign frameworks, account planning, and communication that helps the retailer network grow.

The team behind Input Financing
Michael sets the direction for the program: campaign frameworks, account planning, and how the commercial side of Input Financing grows. Sidney and April are the ones partners talk to once they’re in the program: onboarding new retailers, answering questions as they come up, and helping partners find the financing tools that fit what they’re trying to do.
