What it is

Agriculture Equipment Financing, explained in plain English

Agriculture equipment financing covers the heavy assets that ag operations run on: tractors, combines, balers, planters, sprayers, hay equipment, irrigation systems, and grain storage. Lenders that specialize in ag understand seasonal cash flow and offer payment structures tied to harvest revenue.

For Texas-area ag operators we'll structure financing on new or used equipment from major OEMs (John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, Kubota) and independent dealers, with seasonal or annual-pay structures available on most programs.

Compass Lenders is not a lender. We're a Dallas-based advisory firm that places your file with the lender most likely to fund it on the best terms, and we get paid only when your deal closes.
