Financing for Farm Related Services

Agribusiness financing is also available for a multitude of farm related services, including but not limited to farm processing, servicing, and marketing related enterprises. This can include those who operate services such as custom application, milk hauling, trucking, or specialty services that meet the needs of agricultural businesses, such as nurseries and greenhouses. If what you do serves agriculture, there is a good chance we can help.

If you operate a business that processes some of your own agricultural products, FCS can provide loans and leases for equipment and expansions, needed operating capital, or long-term real estate financing.

If you are a full or part-time farmer, we provide loans and leases for a business or other ventures not directly related to agriculture.
