FAQs

“Farm Funding is a true partner and ahead of the curve as a lender. Their representatives are facilitators, not road blockers. Credit availability tied to competitive interest rates, crop insurance and regular patronage refunds have positively impacted our business. We could not have carried out many of our projects with any other lender.”

“Farm Funding is a true partner.”

The mission: immediate expansion

The Crists came to Farm Funding to expand their business after increasing the volume of their apple production and missing key sales dates due to breakdowns and other holdups. The family’s solution was to replace their out-of-date packinghouse with a state-of-the-art facility that would make them more competitive and efficient. Knowing that swings in agricultural markets would make financing hard to obtain from a commercial lender, they turned to Farm Funding.

How we helped

Farm Funding was instrumental in funding an expansion that better prepared them to profit from key agricultural cycles. Their Farm Funding loan officer’s understanding of the Crists’ business and industry needs helped shepherd the loan through to meet their specific needs.
