SoilBank starts where traditional farm lending stops.
How it works.
Invest: SoilBank makes an equity investment in exchange for a minority share in your land, which can help you reduce your down payment and / or loan size
Service: Annually after harvest, pay SoilBank a flexible premium proportional to their share in the land
Decide: You can buy out SoilBank’s share at fair market value anytime after Year 8, or maintain SoilBank as a partner in perpetuity
SoilBank earns through appreciation in farmland and annual crop premiums - no hidden fees or surprises.
