Beginning Farm and Ranch Loans
A focus of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) is to assist farmers and ranchers who are in their first 10 years of operation by providing access to capital for farm ownership. Two of the funding sources they offer to acquire real estate are the Down Payment Program or Joint Financing Arrangement (Participation Loan). Pacific Intermountain Mortgage will participate with FSA by providing financing to complete the purchase transaction. We are committed to helping new generations of farmers and ranchers enter the Agriculture industry. Please contact us for additional information and learn how your operation can benefit from a participation loan with PIMC.

- Has not operated a farm or ranch for more than 10 years
- Does not own a farm or ranch greater than 30 percent of the average size farm in the county as determined by the most current Census for Agriculture at the time the loan application is submitted
