OPERATING LOANS

Fowler State Bank can provide agricultural loans and working capital to help finance the seasonal requirements of your farming operation. This loan can be a revolving line of credit to help pay bills as they come due. With this line of credit, you can take advantage of cash discounts, lock in prices by paying ahead and receive tax benefits by prepaying expenses. Available with this line of credit is our “one of a kind” actual cash flow program*. This cash flow is tied to your line of credit and farm checking account and will have an actual monthly accounting of all your income and expenses. Pricing for an operating loan is a variable interest rate. Pricing is based on evaluation of your financial statement, ratios, and other criteria.

* There is a small fee for the cash flow program.

EQUIPMENT LOANS

Looking to upgrade a piece of equipment. Fowler State Bank can offer you a competitive rate and repayment structure for that new or used piece of equipment. Repayment will be determined by the useful life of the asset. Longer financing can sometimes be arranged with the help of an FSA Guarantee.


REAL ESTATE LOANS

Fowler State Bank offers real estate loans for the purchase or refinance of agricultural real estate. Fixed, variable, and adjustable rate mortgages are available. Pricing is determined by collateral, financial statement, ratios, and other criteria. We are very interested in helping finance farmers in our community to help grow their farming operation. FSA Guarantees are also available for new and beginning farmers who would like to own real estate. Fowler State Bank can assist in this application.

CONSOLIDATION LOANS

If you are looking to reorganize your operation to help get a new and clean start, a consolidation loan may be the answer to your needs. Fowler State Bank has loan officers who specialize in helping farmers consolidate and reorganize their operations. With the help of a guaranteed loan from FSA, we are able to consolidate debt and amortize for a longer period of time. This may be the help your operation needs. See one of our Ag Loan Officers today.
