(Infographic) Top Three Reasons for an Ag Loan

AgAmerica Lending Brings Experience and Innovation to Agricultural Lending

AgAmerica Lending is one of the largest non-bank agricultural lenders in the United States, focused solely on agricultural real estate financing. AgAmerica is changing the way today’s farmers, ranchers, and landowners finance their dreams with their spectrum of conventional and alternative land loan programs.

Buy Land or Expand Your Farm Operation

With many factors outside the farmers’ control, the stringent qualifications required by most lenders pose a significant challenge to today’s landowners. If you are a multi-generational farmer looking to purchase new land to expand your operation, the AgAmerica Lending team can work with each financial situation to build a custom loan package suited for each farmers’ individual needs.

Refinance Your Ag Loans

AgAmerica’s team of financial experts take a hands-on approach when it comes to helping farmers manage finances and lending expectations. They take a holistic view of current farm debt, including operational loans, farm machinery, and land real estate to build a custom loan package that will help consolidate existing debts into one term loan. Ultimately, AgAmerica’s mission is to help farmers save money that can be used as a reinvestment into agribusinesses for future endeavors and operational upgrades.

Periodic changes in farmers’ financial situations will often present opportunities to refinance and structure new loan terms to better serve each unique financial portfolio. These situations include:

• An increase in credit score;
• A debt payoff;
• Growth in operational revenue or collateral; or
• A drop in the interest rates on agriculture loans.

Taking all financial factors into consideration, AgAmerica can refinance existing farm debt to consolidate existing loans to help farmers access more working capital.

Increase Working Capital

Working capital provides the financial cushion farmers need to endure the tougher farming seasons and stay on track with long-term business goals. It’s a vital resource that can help fund larger farm projects such as replacing aging equipment, investing in precision technologies, or making repairs after a natural disaster.

Farmers and ranchers understand how an unexpected repair can greatly impact an operation’s bottom line at the end of the year and even years to come. Having access to an available cash flow removes the pressure to hold off or delay necessary purchases such as seed, fertilizer, or livestock feed because of funding challenges.

Tap Into the Liquidity of Your Land

By utilizing the equity of your land, AgAmerica can help landowners tap into the untouched liquidity of property through a custom operational loan that can be used to fund purchases such as farm equipment, irrigation systems, ag tech, storage silos, or seed supply. Their cash-out option also offers a competitive interest rate and flexible amortization terms that are designed for each unique agribusiness need.

AgAmerica’s team of experienced ag lenders build custom loan packages based on the unique needs of operations and farmland to match each farmer or rancher with a loan solution that supports long-term success.
