Financing A Farm By Doing Farm Loans

By Kenneth Green


A borrowed capital can be costly to growers who wanted to put up their own farm. They have to loan in order to supply the best fertilizers, seeds, and all other inputs for production. There is already an increase in the competition of some banking industries due to the increase of loans. They are competing for good loans that they can lend to the producers. And this means that they compete for lower interest rates, lower fees, and other services.

For you to know which is better, try to make a comparison between different lenders. And one important thing is that be always prepared. Before going to a bank and before asking them the amount of money that you can borrow, prepare yourself. Farm loans and some other important business plans must be provided with many documents for any evidences that will serve as your explanation for your loan.

When doing an application, make a preparation for all of the required documents. The documents would include your resume, where all your backgrounds, like for personal, work experiences, and educational must be shown. Present also a copy of the income tax returns in the past three years.

Financial statement documents must also be provided. These documents would include your assets and your liabilities which are listed in a balance sheet. Another one is your income statement. These are statements that contain your loss and profit for last year. And the last part of your financial statement is the development of cash flow budget. This contains your sources and funds in the past year.

Real estate titles and personal property titles may be required. If ever you have purchased new equipment, include its identification and serial numbers. If you have any outstanding loans, it must be listed and presented as well. And do include the account number for each and the crops production if ever listed in the assets.

A map must also be included, showing the field and also the cropping plans. Also include in this document the information of the lease agreements and the current status of the property ownership. Another requirement that may be needed for loan are insurances for crops, equipment, and liabilities. And do not also forget to provide insurance information like coverage amount, carrier, and policy number.

Marketing plans are also very important when you loan. So do not forget to include the contract of sales if there is any. Marketing plans can ensure the bank that you have fully understand and you have done your part in producing your crops and as well as the live stocks.

Questions can be asked by you or by the lender if ever there are some clarifications. There may be time that the lender will charge you for the document requirements. Make sure that you can find out about what these costs are. Ask the lender if the payment is part of the loan or not.

So to summarize everything, when you want to acquire a capital for a small farm, you will need to prepare for your application. There is only one important thing here, have an assurance that you can repay the lender for your loan. There are also federal agencies from whom you can ask for any concerns.
