High Tunnel Financing and Leasing

Define the High Tunnel purchase

• Structure dimensions and frame/component inventory
• Covering, doors, anchors and ventilation components
• Delivery, site preparation and installation scope

Ask the seller to identify what is included, what is optional and when the complete package will be delivered. For a used unit, use the actual identification plate and records; a current brochure may describe a different configuration.

Condition evidence and the ready-to-work budget

For used structures, inspect frame condition, coverings, fasteners and missing parts. Have the supplier confirm whether the relocated assembly is suitable for the proposed site.

Separate the equipment price from coverings, anchors, site preparation, irrigation and installation. Obtain prices for immediate work before setting the financing amount. Related costs may be considered, but are not automatically included; recurring operating expenses still need cash-flow allowance.

Compare payments with the farm’s cash cycle

Compare the upfront contribution, payment dates, term, fees and final purchase or return obligations on the actual offers. Include input bills, existing debt and a repair reserve in the same forecast. Ask about schedules that fit your receipts; seasonal payments and lease return rights must be confirmed in writing.

Use the equipment payment calculator for an illustration, then compare it with a written proposal. Farm Credit Canada’s buy-or-lease guide is useful background on ownership, support and cash-flow trade-offs; its products are separate from Mehmi’s offering.
