Agricultural SBA Loans
For a major expansion, acquisition or equipment upgrade, consider an SBA loan. Stearns Bank is an SBA Preferred Lender, experienced with family farms, agribusiness concerns and rural small business.

Banking That Pays

Reach your business checking and savings goals faster with simple, smart and rewarding BusinessSmart™ accounts. Earn interest and cash back with the convenience of online and mobile banking.
Is Used Equipment Right For You?
Used equipment can be a cost-effective option, enabling you to preserve capital and trim payments. Before closing the deal, talk with an ag financing expert at Stearns Bank. Unlike other banks, we know farm equipment and we understand how it supports your operation. We can finance used equipment with any dealer you've chosen to work with.
