“Agriculture is an integral part of our hometowns, and we are proud to support the farmers who help keep our economies going strong,” says Nathan Freeze, Senior Vice President. “During National Farm Safety and Health Week we stand committed to the health and well-being of the people working in agriculture, especially those right in our own communities

In addition to promoting safety on and off the field, Fidelity Bank & Trust is here to assist farmers in keeping their operations running smoothly.

“We provide operating loans, livestock purchase loans, term loans for purchasing breeding stock and machinery, and more,” says Nathan. “Additionally, we facilitate first-time FSA direct loans, as well as work with the Farm Service Agency, a division of the USDA, and Iowa Ag Development Authority to help first-time farmers.”

Recently Fidelity Bank & Trust was recognized as the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) top agriculture lender with bank asset size over $1 billion in its July issue.

“This award means a lot to our team,” says Nathan. “We’re just a small-town bank in Eastern Iowa trying to do the best we can for our customers. Among our ag lenders, we have a lot of experience. Whether they simply grew up on a farm or were involved in 4H or FFA, our team has a vast level of understanding of the industry, allowing us to see things from our customer’s point of view and provide the best possible customer service.”

This week we proudly celebrate our farmers in the field and stand committed to their safety. If you would like to learn more about agricultural loans at Fidelity Bank &Trust, click here, or visit one of our many wonderful ag lenders at your Hometown Bank.
