Junior Ag Loans Available Through Program

For more than 40 years, Montana youth have participated in the Montana Department of Agriculture’s Junior Agriculture Loan Program. Young people under 21 years of age, active in Montana agriculture, are eligible for loans up to $8,500 and are encouraged to apply.

The Montana Junior Agriculture Loan Program was developed to assist rural youth in developing or expanding agribusiness projects. Projects can involve crop and livestock production, custom farming, marketing and distribution, processing and other financially feasible activities.

Applications for the program and other information, can be found on the Department’s website at: https:// agr.mt.gov/Junior-Agriculture- Loans.
