Financing A Farm By Doing Farm Loans

By Kenneth Green


A capital that is borrowed may be an expensive cost for growers who decides of putting up a small farm. Producers loan to be able to give best supplies to seeds, fertilizers, and other product inputs. Competition between banking industries is already increasing because of the increased demand of loans. They compete for better loans so they can lend it to producers. And to be able to keep better services than other banks, they usually offer lower loan fees, lower interest rates, and some other services.

It is very important that you should compare the loans carefully from different lenders. And another important thing is you should be prepared. You cannot just go to the bank and ask of how much you can borrow. Your business plan must be supported with several documents that would explain your needs for farm loans.

When applying for loans, prepare all the needed documents. These documents include you resume. It must have your personal background, work experiences in other farms, and educational background. You must also provide a copy of income tax returns for at least the past 3 years.

All documents for financial statements must be provided as well. These includes all your assets and all your liabilities that are stated and listed in the balance sheet. Another document to be presented is the income statement. This contains all profits and loss for the past year. And lastly for the financial statement is you develop a cash flow budget or your funds and your sources since last 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 that shows the field of crops production should be included, as well as the cropping plans. The map must also include information of the lease agreement and ownership property current status. Liabilities, crops, and equipment insurances are important as well. Information of insurances for policy numbers, coverage amounts, and carriers are also needed.

A marketing plan is also important when you want to loan. So if there are any sale contracts, you must include it. These marketing plans will give the bank an assurance that you really do understand the regulations and that you did your part for crop production and for live stocks.

There are many questions that you can ask the lender if you want to loan. There may be costs or charges for some documents. So make sure to find out if these should be paid by you. Make sure to ask whether it will be paid as part of the loan or it will be paid separately.

So it is concluded that obtaining a capital for you to put up a farm will really need preparations when you apply for it. What is important here is the lender must be sure that a borrower can repay it. Federal agencies are also there to guide you if ever you have some concerns about it.
