Rates

Fixed

Fixed rate loans have the rate of interest being charged “fixed” for up to 30 years. The interest rate on all fixed rate loans is fixed for the full term of the note. This allows you to know your annual interest expense throughout the life of the loan. Agricultural fixed rate loans are not subject to a prepayment penalty if the original term does not exceed five years.

Variable

Variable rate loans have an interest rate that can vary up or down during the term of the loan. The rate being charged on variable rate loans is tied to the Prime index. The Prime index is a retail interest rate that is generally controlled by major U.S. money center banks. It typically moves infrequently and usually in large increments (i.e. 25 basis points). The Prime is the “Wall Street Journal” published Prime Rate.
