Crop Insurance Integration

Your loan and your policy
move together when the sky turns wrong.

Yield coordinates directly with USDA Risk Management Agency and five private crop insurance carriers. When an indemnity payment is triggered, your loan officer is already in the room — not waiting on a fax. Claim proceeds can be applied directly to principal, reducing interest accrual during the recovery season.

Succession & Estate Lending

The land outlasts
every generation that works it.

Third-generation farms don’t need a bank that treats them like a new customer. Yield structures estate loans, buy-sell agreements between siblings, and heir financing that preserves operations through ownership transitions — without forcing a liquidation sale to cover inheritance taxes.

Disaster Forbearance

The policy exists before
you ever need to ask for it.

Yield’s forbearance program isn’t a favor — it’s written into every agricultural loan we close. When USDA designates a drought county, payment deferral activates automatically. You don’t file paperwork during a crisis. You focus on the land.

Since 1934, we have never foreclosed on a farm that was current on its loan before the disaster struck. That record isn’t a policy — it’s a covenant.

Your operation has a number.
We already ran it.

The calculator above already knows your acres, your crop, and your revenue. Click below and a local loan officer — not a call center — will have your file before you finish your coffee.
