Services
Associated Farm Mortgage, Inc. is dedicated to providing America's farmers and ranchers with quality real estate mortgages at the best possible value for the borrower.
We strive to have the lowest interest rates and make every effort to provide timely, honest, and professional service.
Our operation is small by comparison to the mega-lenders so we provide very personal service.
There are hundreds of sources where money can be borrowed, forgive us for "tooting our own horn"; but we think we are simply one of the very best sources due to our experience and integrity (we can provide the references to back that statement up).

Exception is integrated poultry where the maximum Debt to Asset ratio at close is 65% (see below).
Consumer Credit Score - A minimum score of 690 is desired.

Long-term Ag real estate loans are our single product, we do not offer operating loans, equipment, or construction loans.
When choosing a mortgage loan product, you need to pick a product that fits your individual needs.
If there is any probability that you will need to pre-pay, or refinance in advance of maturity, then you may not want a fixed rate product (be sure there is NO pre-payment penalty regardless of product).
Pick an ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) that fits your plans.
However, if long term rates are low (relative to the last 10 years) and you have no plans to pay the note in advance of its scheduled payments, then a longer term fixed rate may make sense for your needs.
