Farm Real Estate

Farm Real Estate Loans

Whether you are buying a farm, expanding your existing operation or making long-term improvements to your farm you'll find a large product selection offering a mix of fixed-rate security and savings with the most competitive rates in the country. We offer refinancing programs, too.
Unlike most lenders, we don’t require a lengthy and expensive refinancing process on mortgage loans. We allow you to move your loan from one product to another: if interest rates move lower, you can change your loan to another product and capture those savings.

  • Your interest rate is locked in for the life of your loan. It never changes.
  • Your payment schedule is predictable which helps you plan and control interest rate risk.
  • If interest rates do fall, you’re not locked into a higher rate.  You can convert to another loan product when interest rates play in your favor.


Adjustable Rates
An adjustable rate provides security for a set period of time, often at a lower rate. When your loan reaches its anniversary, it automatically re-prices.  Refinancing is not required!  At Farm Credit Services, you'll find loans with 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 year adjustable periods with a choice of terms from 5-25 years:

  • This product is often priced lower than fully fixed rate products, so customers can save money.
  • Your loan maturity date can be between 5 and 25 years.
  • You can lock in your rate any time from application until closing.
  • There are no early prepayment penalties.
  • The conversion feature is available on adjustable mortgages, so you can convert to another loan product when interest rates play in your favor.


Variable Rates
The interest rate on a variable rate loan can change monthly based on market conditions. Our variable rate often follows U.S. Prime Rate movement

  • This is often the lowest interest rate available.
  • You set the term between 5 and 25 years.
  • You can put a ‘cap’ on your rate which protects you from high rate increases and volatile markets.
  • This product also offers the conversion feature that allows you to move to fixed rate products.


Convertible Rates
Similar to our adjustable rates, when the loan reaches a re-pricing anniversary, it changes from a longer fixed pricing period to a 1-year fixed rate.  It also features rate caps to help protect from interest rate risk.  

  • You can select 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 terms with a maturity set at 25 years.
  • Interest rate caps protect your rate from rising more than 2% a year, and not more than 6% over the life of the loan.
  • As the name suggests, you can convert this product to a lower rate when the opportunity arises.


LIBOR Indexed Rates

  • LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate and is a global index that is commonly used to price loans around the world. Your rate is indexed to LIBOR with a pre-established margin.
  • LIBOR can be used for any loan from 5 to 25 years.
  • There are no prepayment penalties if you wish to retire debt early.
  • You can convert from this product to a fixed rate product.
  • You receive a low rate based upon a 30-day Libor index cost.
