Our specialized financing is tailored to meet your unique needs, as you can see in this great example of our lenders in action. Let our dedicated team work for you. Heartland knows farms.

Preserving Rural America

For many years, the installment sale was the way farms were transferred to new generations. The problem: Enormous tax consequences for everyone and unrealistic expectations for farm cash flow. At Heartland, we believe farmers have the right to control their own destinies – both for their families and their land.

That’s why succession plans are so important. The right plan lets farmers have the best of all worlds:

Enough money for comfortable retirement
Minimal tax burden for both sellers and buyers
Reduced need for farm cash flow after the sale
A fair distribution for all members of the family

But not all estate plans are created equal. Heartland’s Preserving Rural America program is succession planning designed specifically for farmers, and we’d love to tell you more about it. Contact us to take the first step.
