Farm Service Agency Loans (FSA)

• Lincoln Savings Bank can help borrowers obtain these government-backed farm ownership and operating loans.
• The loans typically go to family-size farmers who cannot obtain commercial credit from traditional lending institutions.
• FSA loans are often provided to beginning farmers who cannot qualify for conventional loans.
• They're also available to established farmers who have suffered financial setbacks from natural disasters, or whose resources are too limited to maintain profitable farming operations.
• Loans can be used to purchase land, livestock, equipment, feed, seed, and supplies or to construct buildings or make farm improvements.

Beginning Farmer Loans

• Together with the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA), Lincoln Savings Bank offers funding under the Beginning Farmer Loan Program.
• This program is designed to help Iowa farmers purchase agricultural land, depreciable machinery or equipment, breeding livestock or buildings.
• IFA loans also may be used to improve existing buildings or farmland.
• Talk to a Lincoln Savings Bank agricultural lending expert to determine if you qualify for this program.
