Here are some thoughts from Ben Tan on his ‘Hobby Farm’

There that’s got to get the ole desires churned up, so if you have considered starting a farm in the state, there are North Carolina farm loan options available to you including:

Financial Institutions - Commercial banks, community banks, as well as credit unions are all good places to go for your North Carolina farm loan. Before you go, you will need to bring with you detailed information about your finances including, pay stubs, references, and more. While there, the lending establishment will provide the suitable forms and disclosures to help you on your way. Depending on which lending establishment you select, they may have an independent North Carolina Farm Loan department to handle your application.

Government Agencies - The state of North Carolina is a large supplier of government services. As you would expect, they want the state's lucrative farming industry to prosper and the proper agencies are in place to help you obtain a North Carolina Farm Loan. Call the government offices in Raleigh - the state capitol -- to speak with a representative from the state's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. He may also refer you to one of North Carolina's 100 county representatives for assistance that is closer to where you live.

Farm Associations - Current and active North Carolina farmers likely belong to a farm alliance. Visit the association personally to see if they offer North Carolina Farm Loan options. Some farm associations may act as an agent for federal government's Farm Service Agency [which is part of the USDA] and will help direct you accordingly.

You may also want to consider borrowing against your personal assets to create your own North Carolina Farm Loan.

If you have equity in your residence, a 401(k) retirement plan or a life insurance policy with a considerable cash value, these or some other assets could be important funding options for your farm.

North Carolina Farm Loans are available to you, especially if your credit is excellent or good. Perform some research, go out and do it now - discuss your plan with other farmers, they have a wealth of information, and love to talk about their life. The more background information you can supply the lender the simpler it will be to obtain the loan that works best for you. Make your North Carolina farm a reality!

Then you can make money or dough from home or if you own the farm, consider streamlining your debts with a Home Owner Loan
