ARM Agent Portrait
What Is an ARM Agent?
An ARM agent helps farmers access the funding required to operate, expand, and thrive. You'll talk with producers about their plans for the season and work with ARM's lending team to shape a fitting loan package. The ideal ARM agent may be a crop insurance agent, crop or finance consultant, farm loan broker, or another agriculture professional with strong local ties. If you want to offer more value to your network and create a new source of revenue, this is a natural next step. ARM provides training, proprietary technology, and branch-level support to make the process straightforward and valuable for you and the farmers you serve.

How It Works
Giving ARM Agents What They Need to Succeed
ARM gives every ag agent a clear path to success with a five-step process designed to make lending simple and repeatable. You’ll have experienced ag lenders (averaging 22+ years in the field) and your local branch backing you every step of the way.
Connect with Farmers
Start with the network you already have and grow it over time. ARM gives you marketing materials and local support to make yourself visible in the community and connect with producers who are ready for farm financing now and in the future.
Assess Their Needs
Sit down with farmers and talk through their plans for the season. You’ll collect basic crop and financial details to figure out which loan options work best. ARM’s platform keeps everything organized and easy to share with your farm loan consultant team.
Create the Loan Package
Work directly with ARM’s lending team to create a custom solution. You’ll combine your insight from the field with our lending experience and technology to design a financing package that gives the farmer what they need.
Fund the Loan
Once approved, ARM takes care of the paperwork and moves the loan toward funding. Our proprietary technology makes this process efficient and trackable, so you and the farmer can stay informed without getting buried in admin work.
Support and Renew
Stay connected with each farmer long after the loan funds. Renewals and repeat business are part of the process, helping you grow steady income and build a solid ag finance career over time.
