This is a complimentary service. You're never charged, and you decide whether to move forward.

You stay in control.

Your information is handled securely and used only to match you with appropriate lenders. We're not the lender — we connect you to ours.

What you'll want on hand to get the strongest result

  • A clear loan purpose — land purchase, refinance, construction/improvement, expansion, or operating needs.
  • A realistic estimate of the property or collateral value, and how much you're looking to borrow.
  • A sense of your equity or down payment available toward the deal.
  • A snapshot of your operation — acres owned/leased, what you produce, and years of experience.
  • Ballpark financials — annual farm revenue, rough income, and a general sense of assets vs. debts.
  • A general idea of your credit standing (a range is fine — we don't pull your credit on this page).
  • Your timeline — when you need this done.

You don't need exact numbers to start. Good estimates are enough to begin; we'll confirm details with you later.

What lenders look at before they say yes

Agricultural lending is its own world — it's not a house mortgage and it's not a credit card. When a farm or land loan goes to underwriting, lenders generally weigh a handful of things. Knowing them up front is why our borrowers get to a "yes" faster:

  • Loan-to-value (LTV). Most ag real estate lenders generally lend up to roughly 65–75% of the property's value, meaning a 25–35% down payment or equity position is common. Stronger equity widens your options.

  • Repayment capacity. Lenders want to see the operation (plus any off-farm income) can comfortably cover the new payment — not just break even. Coverage cushions matter more than a single good year.

  • Credit history. There's no single magic number, but stronger credit opens more programs and better terms. Many ag programs look most favorably in the ~680+ range, while options can still exist below that depending on the full picture.

  • Collateral quality. The type and productivity of the land or asset — cropland, pasture, ranch, facilities — affects how lenders value it.

  • Experience & management. Years operating, your track record, and how well-organized your financials are all signal lower risk.

These are general industry ranges for educational purposes only — not an offer, not a commitment to lend, and not a prediction of your individual terms. Every lender sets its own criteria, and rates and terms are determined by the lender, not by AgLoans.
