Farm Mortgages
Our farm mortgages provide long-term financing solutions for agricultural real estate secured by productive land. These loans cater specifically to commercial farming operations requiring stable financing structures. Borrowers benefit from competitive interest rates and terms up to 30 years, with flexible amortization options that align with agricultural production cycles and cash flow patterns.
Poultry Facility Loans
Specialized financing for integrated poultry facilities with production contracts from major integrators. Loans cover new construction or acquisition of facilities, requiring minimum $1M while offering up to $50M in financing with tailored LTV parameters. Terms up to 15 years ensure alignment with facility depreciation schedules and operational cash flow.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages
Flexible mortgage products with rates adjusting at predetermined intervals (3, 5, 7, or 10 years). Ideal for borrowers anticipating changes in financial positions or market conditions. Rates reset based on treasury benchmarks with transparent adjustment parameters, offering protection against balloon payments while maintaining competitive initial terms.
Fixed-Rate Mortgages
Long-term fixed-rate financing solutions designed for agricultural borrowers seeking payment certainty. Terms available from 10-30 years with corresponding amortization schedules. These mortgages are particularly suited for operators with established production histories who prefer consistent payment structures unaffected by market fluctuations.
Commercial Agriculture Loans
Tailored mortgage products supporting commercial agricultural enterprises beyond traditional farming operations. This includes specialized financing for integrated facilities, permanent plantings, and other agribusiness ventures requiring substantial real estate investments. Loan structures consider unique operational risks while emphasizing collateral quality and borrower financial strength.
