Fund Deployment is an important measure we track at Vermont Farm Fund. It describes what percent of our fund is currently loaned out and at work in the Vermont farm economy. We like to see a high deployment percentage, since money sitting in the bank waiting for a new loan application is not being put to best use. The VFF Board is responsible for managing the delicate balance between keeping our money working for Vermont farms and being readily available for the next important farm and food project or emergency.
