What is a farm operating loan?
Legacy Ag Credit provides farm operating loans to help you run an efficient and productive farm enterprise. Our short-term agricultural loans are tailored to your needs and can be used to streamline your production expenses.
How does a farm operating loan work?
Farm operating loans provide the needed financial support for nearly all successful farm operations. Operating loans bring farmers proper cash flow and working capital to meet expenses while offering the ability to pay back debt. Some loans are prepared in conjunction with the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) when financing the costs of a farm operation but most aren't.
