Operating Lines of Credit

Flexible financing for the day-to-day needs of your operation.

Agriculture is seasonal, and your expenses don't always line up with your income. An operating line of credit provides ongoing access to funds to help manage cash flow, cover input costs, and handle day-to-day operating expenses throughout the production cycle.

How it works

An operating line of credit provides flexible access to working capital when you need it most.

Borrow funds as expenses arise, repay the balance as revenue comes in, and continue using available credit throughout the loan term. Loan structures are designed around your operation's production cycle, expected cash flow, and seasonal financing needs.


When it makes sense

An operating line of credit may be the right fit when:

  • Purchasing seed, fertilizer, feed, or other inputs 
  • Managing seasonal operating expenses 
  • Bridging cash flow between planting, production, and harvest 
  • Covering unexpected operating costs 
  • Maintaining flexibility throughout the year
