Poultry Facility Loans

Integrated poultry facilities are a popular and growing production concept in America.  The construction, and/or purchase of a modern poultry facility contracted to a major integrator is a costly investment; therefore choosing a lender who understands integrated poultry is also a very critical step.

Associated Farm Mortgage, Inc. has a strong commitment to agriculture, and to integrated poultry lending; while our conservative approach to lending will mean we cannot offer a loan to everyone, for those qualifying borrowers who seek a knowledgeable and committed lender we can and will provide you with the very best in commercial agriculture mortgages.

Following is a brief overview of our poultry facility mortgage loan program:

  •  Minimum loan size is $500,000 – there is no upper limit on loan size.
  • We require a First Lien position, but we do allow subordinate liens.
  • Maximum loan term is 15 years (fully amortized), no balloon payments or calls on the note.  Exceptions to the 15 year term limit may be made when the depreciable assets comprise less than 50% of the initial value of the collateral.
  • Maximum Loan to Value (for our lien) is 75% on newly constructed facilities (in service one year or less).  The total of all liens (including subordinate liens) can not exceed 90%.
  • Total Debt Service coverage must be 125% or greater after closing of all loans related to the construction and/or purchase.
  • Pro Forma Debt to Asset ratio must not exceed 65% including all debts at close.
