Secured companion loans are designed to create a dynamic link between agricultural producers and UFC. Companion is a traditional full-operating line of credit that rewards the patron/producer with competitive product costs and operating interest rates based on the customer's volume of input purchases and the amount of crop marketed through UFC. Revolving and second year loan options are available.
Companion Direct is an unsecured line of credit up to $250,000 that can be used by patrons of UFC, allowing greater flexibility to purchase input financing in one convenient program. Companion Direct has the advantage of minimal paperwork and quick decision time.
Long-term loans collateralized by real estate, which generally includes unimproved farm ground, rural residences and traditional farm sites. Not to be used when the value of the real estate is primarily derived from facilities/improvements.
Intermediate term loans collateralized by all the borrower’s machinery and equipment inventory. A priority position on machinery and equipment is required.
Secured with real estate that is improved with a livestock facility such as swine finishing barns and dairy milking parlors or other types of real estate fixtures such as grain bins and machine sheds.

Insurance covers the risk of price declines for feeder cattle, fed cattle and swine. It provides producers an indemnity if a regional or national cash price index falls below an insured coverage price. Similar to a put option, the LRP policy is price insurance only, providing single-peril price risk protection for the future sale of insured livestock.
Insurance offers protection against a decline in the feeding margin for cattle and swine. An indemnity is paid if the insured gross margin is greater than the total actual gross margin at the end of the insurance period.
