Ag Finance Services: Agriculture Loans for Real Estate & Improvements
At Rivers Edge Bank, we work with countless farmers and rural residents who wonder what possibilities are still out there to explore. Our team knows what it feels like to yearn for more: more potential, more opportunities, more ability to make a difference. Before we formed Rivers Edge as a leading agriculture bank in our rural South Dakota and Iowa communities, we were individual banks who sought to do more. By joining together, we’re better equipped to serve the small towns we live and work in, including the farmers who we consider to be the lifeblood of our tight-knit communities. In fact, a lot of our farm financing lenders grew up with agricultural backgrounds and utilize their expertise to help you make informed business decisions.
When you recognize an opportunity to scale up your farming business or branch out into a new direction, Rivers Edge Bank has agriculture loans for farms to help you fulfill your vision. Our ag finance solutions can be tailored to meet your needs and cover critical investments like real estate purchases, land improvements, livestock and more.

Single-Pay Notes for Ag Finance Options
Sometimes it may make more sense for your ag business to opt for a single-pay note as a lump sum rather than a revolving line of credit. Single-pay notes allow for more flexibility for farmers when a structured repayment plan doesn’t make sense. For example, when a farmer is upgrading their equipment or improving their real estate, it may be that they intend to sell other equipment or land holdings to cover the debt. In the meantime, a single-pay note can provide the funds needed to buy and sell when the time is right without being held to an unnecessary repayment schedule. This type of farm financing is especially strategic when you want to avoid tying up the funds on an existing line of credit, such as when you’re storing grain but anticipating an upcoming sale to take care of the costs. A few more examples for when a single-pay note may come in handy include:
- Grain inventory - to allow for marketing opportunities
- Equipment upgrades - between purchasing new equipment and waiting to sell an existing piece of machinery
- Feed inventory - to allow for livestock sales
- Larger repair expenses - to allow for repair before harvest or livestock sale
We’re always happy to discuss which agriculture loans for farms are best-suited for your business, whether it’s a single-pay note or a flexible line of credit . As your local agriculture bank, we know what works for the farmers in our community and take the time to personalize farm financing to your needs, opening the door for you to pursue passion projects and growth opportunities that align with your business.
