Understanding how YFC can help your business

We think lending should be as simple and efficient as possible. We forecast every aspect of a customer’s operation to determine how income and expenses fit the budget. It’s a transparent process that helps us better fit our customers’ needs, and it sets us apart from other lenders.

Our accomplished staff has a wealth of experience in custom-tailoring flexible and competitive loans to meet your real estate financing needs to grow or start your business.

We can assist with the essentials to start and sustain an orchard.

Development loans broadly cover expenses such as agronomy, environmental due diligence, ground work, planting and irrigation system development, to name a few.

Operating Loans

Operating loans allow farmers the flexibility to manage their businesses or improve their real estate investments.

 These loans can take the form of collateral or lines of credit. Our team analyzes the cash the operation needs to function at a high level while practicing responsible financial management for both organizations.

Crop Loans

We offer short-term financing that covers a seasonal crop cycle of expenses.

That may include pre-harvest and harvest overhead expenses such as debt service, fixed capital, living expenses and taxes.

Livestock

We provide cow and calf loans, herd loans, and stocker loans.

Cow and calf loans are for funding operating needs, breeding bulls, or replacement heifers; herd loans are typically used for the purchase of cattle, quota, equipment, and capital improvements; and stocker loans are short-term financing for the purchase, feed, maintenance and care of stocker cattle. In addition, we have feed and farming credit lines as well as prepaid feed lines so our customers can purchase feed for year-end tax planning purposes.
