Startups and new farms aren't excluded, but they may need to present more documentation like a business plan or projected cash flow. Lenders will likely focus on your personal credit and farming experience. Some government programs also support newer farmers with flexible terms.
It depends on your goals. Leasing may offer lower upfront costs and short-term flexibility, ideal for seasonal needs or testing new tech. Loans are better suited for long-term investments, giving you ownership and asset equity once paid off.
Borrowing limits vary widely based on credit, collateral, and equipment value. You might secure anywhere from $10,000 to over $500,000. Farms with consistent revenue and a solid history can often qualify for higher amounts with better terms.

Used equipment can be financed, but lenders may place restrictions on age or hours of use. Make sure the equipment is in good working order and that the seller can provide documentation. These loans can be a cost-effective way to scale without buying new.
Before signing, it’s important to examine the interest rate, repayment schedule, and any penalties for early payoff. Be aware of whether the loan requires collateral or comes with variable terms. A good financing partner should understand the seasonality of farm income and offer repayment flexibility. Always compare multiple offers to ensure the terms align with your cash flow and goals.
