Exploring different types of loans, varying interest rates, loan amounts, and terms and conditions can feel like a full-time job by itself. Add in filling out lengthy application forms and waiting to hear back about approval, and it’s not a stretch to say the process can be fairly difficult.

While decisions about individual loans come down to factors like past performance and plans for the money loaned, you can count on an easier experience with us. If you choose to apply for an All in One Mortgage, for example, you can save yourself a lot of time.

Farms can need a variety of small and large, short-term and long-term loans and lines of credit to support operational needs and plans for the future. With an All in One Mortgage, the credit limit you are approved for applies to all our loans and lines of credit. You can choose how to use your funds! And, you can cut down on legal fees with a single application process.

Because of the flexibility it offers, along with the time and cost savings, our All In One Mortgage is a great choice for farmers like you. However, you can also choose from closed,  open, fixed, and variable agricultural mortgages — in a variety of term lengths.

More options mean you can find the loan that supports your needs and helps propel your business forward.

A farm loan can be seen as a specific type of mortgage, at least when it’s used to purchase land intended for farming.

You can also use a farm loan for other types of purchases, however. The loan funds could go toward expanding or replacing your fleet of farm equipment or improving and modernizing your farm’s infrastructure, for example. In those cases, there’s a clear difference between a farm loan and a mortgage.
