Farm Equipment Loans

Your farm needs combines, trucks and other equipment to run its operation efficiently. Equipment financing is designed to allow your farm to purchase the equipment it needs or refinance existing equipment using the equipment as collateral for the loan. We want to move quickly so you can get back into the barn or out in the field where the real money is made.

Let’s Talk

Farm Service Agency (FSA Loans)

At times, Security Bank & Trust Co. has the opportunity to work in close cooperation with the local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office to make loans more bankable for our Ag customers.

Guaranteed Ownership Loans

Guaranteed Farm Ownership Loans may be made to purchase farmland, construct or repair buildings and other fixtures, develop farmland to promote soil and water conservation, or to refinance debt.

Guaranteed Operating Loans

Guaranteed Operating Loans may be used to purchase livestock, farm equipment, feed, seed, fuel, farm chemicals, insurance, and other operating expenses. Operating loans can also be used for minor improvements to buildings, costs associated with land and water development, family living expenses, and to refinance debts under certain conditions.

Beginning Farmers Loans

FSA makes and guarantees loans to beginning farmers who are unable to obtain financing from commercial lenders. Loans are available for farm ownership and operations. There are also programs to assist socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers in purchasing a farm and FSA works with retiring farmers to use this program to transfer their land to future generations.

We’ll navigate and discuss what you feel is the best option.
