Operating & Equipment Loans

Overview

Short-term operating credit and financing for machinery and livestock.

About this topic

Not every farm loan is about land. These guides cover the financing that keeps an operation running — short-term operating loans for seed, feed, fuel, and labor, and equipment financing for tractors, combines, and other machinery. Operating loans are usually tied to a production cycle, while equipment loans are often matched to the machinery's useful life. Structure and terms vary by lender.
