Operating Loans

Flexible, Seasonal Financing for Crops, Livestock, and Cash Flow

Agri-One Financial offers annual operating loans. Loan proceeds can be used to fund input expenses or the entire cash flow needs of the customer, including term debt payments and family living. Loan terms are tailored to meet the cash flow requirements of each individual operation.

We prefer to offer operating loans to those customers with whom we also have a real estate loan relationship, or to customers pledging real estate as collateral on the operating loan. We may limit the territory to areas that we can serve directly from our office or through selected correspondents.
