Missing! The USDA in association with the Farm Services Agency (FSA), and the Small Business Administration (SBA) help current and Beginning Farmers purchase farms, including POULTRY FARMS. 

Most FSA DIRECT Loans will require a minimum of 5% CASH down payment from the buyer.

Most GUARANTEED Loans will require anywhere from 10% to 20% down payment. 

No matter the loan type, the farm must show a reasonable CASH FLOW to ensure income will be able to pay the mortgage payment, farm expenses, any additional credit card or off farm loan debit and still have enough left over to meet your monthly family living expenses. Buyers with seasoned off-farm-income may also be added into the total income.

The FSA Max loan amount is $2,037,000. 

SBA Guaranteed loans, up to a max of $4,500,000.  (Higher Funding Fees than with FSA).

FSA DIRECT Farm Ownership Loan programs (Go Directly to the USDA / FSA Office that manages the county for property you want to purchase. Your bank/lender will loan you the balance of the loan).
