Farm Equipment Financing by Banks

This resource is part of AgriFin’s collection of loan product tools that help financial institutions tailor their loan products to the needs of agricultural clients. This detailed manual is geared to bankers looking for "the most practical methods and operating procedures for financing farm equipment.” Designed as a “how-to manual” by the American Bankers Association (ABA) in 1956, this is an example of the excellent technical support to bankers at which the ABA used to excel. Interestingly, this manual goes into great detail on how to work with and through equipment dealers, who in many cases are well placed to deal directly with farmer customers. If you are at all interested in equipment financing, this instructional document is a great place to learn how to do it.
