I just noticed that there isn't a storage or barn section to TBN. I posted under rural living because I am hoping to catch the attention and knowledge of the farmers out there.
I am in need (aren't we all) of an additional barn. I've owned the current home and small pole barn for 4 years, so equity is low and I have a extremely low interest rate from back then.
Plenty of banks are willing to let me refinance - no thanks. Local Ag Credit was ready to help me out with some good (farm related) finance options but I lease my fields, not personally farm them - so the programs didn't apply.
So I'm looking to see if there are other programs out there (small town bank, not sure the gentleman is aware of all possible programs). OR if there are programs where I can plant / raise, etc a specialty item and qualify for financing assistance, etc. I know there are programs to bring back wildlife, CRP, etc.
I doubt I'll find anything but I thought it would be worth asking on here. I only have a few acres to farm, so on paper, the "farm" doesn't bring in much revenue, but paying for it myself, I just need something to tide me over for 5-10 years I think. I plan to build it myself - so it's really just materials.
