Where people in South Glengarry work

Employment by industry is the best public picture of what a local economy sells. In South Glengarry, the six largest private sectors look like this next to the Ontario average:

Industry (NAICS)South GlengarryON
Health care and social assistance14.7%12.0%
Manufacturing11.6%9.1%
Retail trade9.3%11.1%
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting8.0%1.5%

What stands out is farming, forestry and fishing: 8.0% of local workers, about 5.5 times the Ontario share. Businesses that sell to, supply or serve that sector make up a large part of the local file mix. Transportation and warehousing is also above the provincial share, at 6.8%.

When money moves in South Glengarry

The crop year sets the rhythm: inputs in spring, work through summer and harvest, income after sale. Local suppliers often carry farm customers between the two. Snow season helps South Glengarry clearing and indoor trades but slows patios and landscaping.

Time a request before the busy season, not in the middle of the slow one.

A worked example from South Glengarry

The arithmetic

A fruit orchard and farm market in South Glengarry deposits about $36,000 a month, of which roughly $27,000 comes from card sales. It takes a $20,000 advance for a renovation before the busy season at a 1.26 factor rate, so the total to repay is $25,200. With a 9% holdback on card sales, about $2,430 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 10 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
