Common questions

Farm and ranch FAQ

Can I finance a hobby farm I live on?

Not through us. We arrange business-purpose loans only: working farms and ranches, ag facilities, equine businesses and acreage held by your business. A primary or second home is a consumer mortgage.

Do you make annual operating loans?

No. These are real estate-secured loans. A farm equity line can give you working capital for up to 10 years without re-applying each season.

Can payments match my harvest?

Yes. Select lenders offer semi-annual or annual payments in addition to monthly.

What if my credit is not perfect?

Credit-challenged and distressed operations are considered, and a no-score option is available. Equity in the land carries a lot of weight.

Can I buy out my siblings?

Yes. A cash-out loan on the family land can fund the buyout of other heirs.

What about equipment or an ag business?

For ag processing and agribusinesses, see USDA B&I loans, which can also cover equipment and working capital.

Buying land or refinancing the ranch?

Send us the property and the operation. We will match it to an ag lender that fits.
