An Agricultural Cooperative — More Than a Bank

We’re much more than an ag bank — we are a member-owned co-op, and with that comes benefits you won’t find elsewhere. As customer-owners, our borrowers are able to share in our earnings, which is paid out in the form of an annual cash dividend. When you succeed, we all succeed. Find out more about our cash dividend program.

Agricultural Leasing

Agricultural operations depend on proper facilities, buildings and reliable equipment, and leasing can be an attractive way to acquire it. As an alternative to the cost of purchasing, leasing helps you stay up to date with equipment and technology, but without the large cash outlay. With no down payment required, leasing allows you to put your capital to its best use. To be eligible for our leasing programs, individuals must be owners of agricultural land or engaged in production agriculture.

What American AgCredit Leases

  • Facilities & buildings
  • Solar projects
  • Processing lines and equipment
  • Tractors, trailers, forklifts and other vehicles
  • Fruit bins
  • Rolling stock
  • Harvest equipment
  • Packing Equipment and Bins
  • Irrigation Systems
  • Wine Barrels
  • Greenhouse structures
  • Cooling and drying equipment
  • and more

Why Lease?

  • Leasing requires no down payment, conserving working capital. We even offer 100% financing.
  • Lease payments may be tax deductible
  • Leasing helps minimize the risk of equipment becoming obsolete

It All Starts With People

Our staff — from loan officers to underwriters to operational teams — share a passion and dedication for serving agriculture. In fact, many have a family background in agricultural operations.

No other lender understands the agriculture industry better.

Our teams provide valued agriculture and financing expertise; a competitive product offering; and responsive service.

We make it easy for our customers to do business with us. We ensure we remain responsible stewards of our borrower’s investment and operate profitably, efficiently, and with a commitment to continuous improvement.
