These loans can be used to purchase farmland, construct, or improve buildings on the farm, or make other improvements to the farm’s infrastructure. Next is operating loans. These loans are designed to help farmers cover the day-to-day expenses of running their farm, such as purchasing seeds, fertilizer, and other inputs. Then lastly, there are farm storage facility loans. These loans help farmers build or improve facilities for storing crops or other farm products. And finally, conservation loans. These loans can be used to implement conservation practices on the farm, such as installing irrigation systems or planting cover crops. But we don’t just offer traditional agricultural financing. We also provide land loans for all types of real estate, including unimproved, non-commercial or recreational land tracks, rural residential on large acreage and specialized ag property improvements.
