More than 75% of the dairy farms in the United States are family owned and operated. This means that, for most dairy farmers, the people doing the heavy lifting are the same people managing the facility, buying animals, maintaining the operation, and strategically planning for the future. First Independent Bank partners with dairy farms to make the work easier.
Dairy Farms and First Independent Bank: A Partnership and a Commitment
Dairy farms throughout Minnesota have a variety of ways to partner with the Ag Finance experts at First Independent Bank. We have a long history of work in Minnesota, and because of our specialization specifically with Ag operations, dairy farmers have been able to find a trusted partner to help them build, maintain, and grow their operation.
Livestock Loans, USDA Loans, and FSA Loans from First Independent Bank
Our loan options for dairy farming operations help those who are just starting out and those who have been around as long as we have. Our lending experts have helped southern Minnesota dairy farmers purchase animals, equipment, and machinery. We partner with dairy farms who need a quick influx of cash to support their operation. We help dairy farmers get better equipment, buy more animals, and build the right facilities. We help them build operations from the ground up. We’ve helped them find the most strategic ways to expand their facilities, purchase more land, and reinvest in their business. In each encounter and with each transaction, First Independent Bank is showing dairy farmers that they have a partner in Ag business.
Our Bank is Local…And So Are Our Decisions
