QUESTIONS FOR MONTHLY LINE OF CREDIT
What is the difference between a Booking, an Invoice and a Statement?
A Booking is a contract to lock in pricing and product. Booking have an expiration date. Customers are not required to pay bookings, but booking prices are not guaranteed in season.
An Invoice is for product that they have received or will be receiving. Customers are required to pay invoices. Invoices unpaid after their due date are subject to late fees and finance charges.
A Statement is a summary of activity on a customer's account for the prior month. Customers are required to pay the balance by the due date. Statement balance unpaid after the due date is subject to late fees and finance charges.

How to Determine What I Owe When I Receive A Statement?
When you receive your statement in the upper righthand there will be a total amount due. If this amount is negative, it generally means there is a credit balance on your account. If you go to the end of your statement there will be a summary of accounts including current, 1-30, 31-60, over 60, over 90, unapplied, budget billing and prepay. Here you will be able to determine the amount due. Unapplied is a credit balance on account.
When will I receive my statement?
Statements are mailed out the first business day of the month.
Statements are sometimes delayed due to the month ending on a weekend and federal holidays. If the last day of the month falls on a Friday or Saturday, statements will be mailed on the following Monday or business day. New Year’s Day, Independence Day and Labor Day holidays will also delay the mailing of statements due to closure of the post office and our corporate office. For these reasons, The Equity recommends My Farm Records to ensure prompt receipt of your statement when they are printed on the last day of the month in the form of an electronic copy.
