Meet your cash flow needs with an operating line of credit that fits your business model.
Ready to build a barn, finishing building, or grain bin? An agricultural construction loan is the way to get your project completed.
From combines to computers, new or used, we can structure your equipment loan to meet your farm’s needs.
Holding on to some of your harvest while expecting a price increase? An inventory loan lets you keep your growing year totals separate and frees up your operating line of credit for daily expenses.
Caring for livestock requires day-in, day-out attention and care. Our customer-centered financing options will work alongside your never-ending dedication to your animals.
As an FSA Certified Lender, FFBT has developed a proven track record in making and servicing guaranteed agricultural loans. Our streamlined process means a quicker turn around for you and your business.
