Ag Lending

Dickinson, Mackaman, Tyler & Hagen, P.C. counsels more than 90 financial institutions doing business across Iowa. Our attorneys regularly consult with financial institutions on agriculture lending matters, from small producer operations to larger agribusiness concerns. We have a long history of helping Iowa community banks and other lenders in documenting and enforcing agricultural and agri-business loans, including:

Loan documentation creation and review
Loan workouts
Collateral enforcement
Foreclosures
Bankruptcies
Litigation

Financial institutions cannot control the weather or commodity prices, but they can control the condition of their ag loan files. Seeking experienced legal counsel to review ag loan files before the situation becomes dire is a frequently overlooked preventative measure that saves time and expense. Having Dickinson attorneys conduct documentation reviews, either at the start of the loan or at renewal, is a smart investment--our work with lenders on ag loan workouts, foreclosures, and bankruptcies has proven this repeatedly.

Ag Lending Video Library

The attorneys at Dickinson Law have put together a series of videos that cover key points of the ag lending process and items financial institutions should watch out for as part of the lending process.
