How do producers use these types of agricultural loans?

Our agricultural clients use various types of ag loans for the following reasons:

Seasonal Operating Line of Credit

Be prepared with a ready line of credit for your farm's needs such as seed, chemical, fertilizer, cash rent or other inputs. Flexible, short-term, asset-based financing can help you manage your cash flow. Have readily available financing for when you need it and only use what you need.

Livestock

Seasons and markets change quickly. Let us help streamline your commercial or pure bred livestock (cattle, swine, poultry, equine, etc.) operation with a livestock loan that suits your cash flow needs.

Equipment

When you're ready to purchase or upgrade equipment (grain bins, combines, tractors, trailers, semis, etc.), we're ready to discuss your financing options. No matter what you raise, we have the options to finance the equipment that is critical to your success.

Real Estate

Good farm ground can be hard to come by. Purchase or refinance your farm property with a local, community-minded bank, where processing and decision-making is kept local. Our lenders are familiar with the local real estate market and will work with you to provide financing options that meet your needs. We finance crop and pasture land, as well as buildings or structures necessary to the success and development of your operation. Ag real estate loans are also utilized to purchase Morton® buildings, barns and grain bins.  

Farmer Mac Loans

Additionally, look to The Bank of Tioga for more innovative financing options from the secondary market. We are committed to serving our agricultural clients with products that fit their needs, including fixed long term financing for large purchases or operating loans to help finance operations from year to year. This is why we've partnered with TS Ag Finance and draw upon their relationship with Farmer Mac, TripleR and AgXpress to expand our ag loan offerings. We understand the agricultural industry and the importance of having sophisticated financing options available for today's producers.

For your convenience, you have the ability to fill out the application electronically or you can print it off to complete. Additionally, you may be asked to provide historical tax returns, financial statements, a description of any collateral offered to secure the loan, among other information to assist in underwriting the financing request.

Lee Rindel, VP of Ag Banking

"I enjoy working for an institution that is proud of its community and demonstrates that proudness by giving so much back to further our communities goals, whether it is a small or large goal. Building relationships with local producers and seeing their achievements progress over the years is a rewarding experience. Seeing the cows grazing, growing crops or clients completing their harvest and knowing I had a small part in their operations success is why I enjoy my job."
