Country Home Loans

For more than 100 years, we have been serving the financial needs of farmers and ranchers throughout our territory. We have recently entered into an agreement with another Farm Credit lender to increase the range of financing solutions available to our customers.

Through this relationship with AgWest Farm Credit, loans are now available to rural customers who may or may not have an agricultural use for the land. This Country Home Loan program enables us to offer the full spectrum of lending services to rural communities. If you’re unsure if a Country Home Loan is appropriate for you, or if a traditional agricultural loan would be a better fit, don’t hesitate to call us and we can help point you to the right solution.

There are three specific types of Country Home Loans, each of which is designed to solve for a particular financing need.

Large acreage qualifies.
Residential and agriculturally zoned properties are eligible.
Income-producing properties are eligible.
Barns, shops, outbuildings or riding areas can be included in the appraised value.
Custom, modular, log and manufactured homes are eligible.
