Farmer Clay Strange is the Cream of the Crop

Clay Strange may only be in his 30s, but he’s steadily grown his farming business into quite the operation. “I’ve always worked with my dad on a farm,” he says. “I started with him when I was around 10 or 11.” Strange has turned 40 acres into a thriving business with significantly more land and larger operation.

Clay and his wife grow cotton, corn, peanuts, soybeans, and more in Americus. With Synovus’ help opening checking and saving accounts—plus a crop-operating line of credit—Strange has carried on the family farming tradition (as well as the family tradition of banking with Synovus).

“Synovus has always given me what I needed,” he says. “Without capital, I can’t farm. I borrow money in the spring and pay it back in the fall, and without [the loan], I can’t do it. They’ve always worked with me to make sure that I have everything I need.”
