I'll first speak of Farm Credit Canada. We use them substantially in the financing of equipment; we have a relationship with them whereby when we complete a deal with a producer, we can send the information to Farm Credit and they'll approve it very quickly and fax all the contracts back to us and help finance the deal. Next to John Deere Credit, they're probably our number two financer. The process works smoothly, as producers like Farm Credit understand the business and seem to support it in their growth initiatives. So that's very positive on the producer level.
From a dealership perspective, Farm Credit probably is offering the most unique advantages out there if I want to expand my business, with creative ways of financing that acquisition and transitioning whoever wants to get out of the business. They've got more unique programs to offer me than any other bank I've talked to. I know that in our next acquisition, Farm Credit is going to be who we deal with. They're very aggressive, but they've also got something that meets our needs.
Relating to your first question, on the CCA, I was mentioning to one other individual that in our business about 8% of our customer base drives about 92% of our revenue. So it's a very small group of farmers who really keep us in the marketplace. Those are the bigger farmers, who consolidated and took risks 15 years ago to start expanding their farms and who are able to be successful. They need this to continue for the growth of their operations.
The smaller farmers are still important. They need us for service, for parts, for used equipment. But it's that small segment of our customer base that really needs CCA to recognize the wear and tear in their equipment.
