Agricultural Services

Passing the family farm down to the next generation takes more than hard work. It requires a sound financial strategy for the future. At 1st Source, our agricultural bankers are fully-trained financial advisors who can help you borrow money, invest your profits, lease equipment, and plan for your retirement.

Experience the 1st Source Difference

Individual Service
Your farm is not just an asset, it's your livelihood. That's why at 1st Source we take the time to get to know you and your farm through on-site visits. Gaining insight into your operations is the first step toward providing you with products and services tailored to your specific needs and goals - but our attention does not end there. We commit ourselves to helping you achieve your financial goals, both professionally and personally, every step of the way.

Community Involvement
As an independent, locally-owned bank, 1st Source is committed to the family farms of Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. Our agricultural bankers have strong roots in the area and a personal knowledge of the local farming community. We're your friends and neighbors, active in the 4-H, Young Farmers, and other agricultural associations. We work side by side with you, and interact on a daily basis with the same community leaders, farm consultants, input suppliers and government agencies you do.

Local Decisions
With today's volatile agricultural market, time is often the commodity in shortest supply. Banking with 1st Source can save you both time and money. Because we're a community-based bank, all our decisions are made right here, by people you know and trust. Because we are a local, independent bank, you know that you'll get an answer to your question, or a decision on your financing quickly.
