About Acres Bank

Our roots are in agriculture.

We have decades of experience in farm lending. Our founder, Earl Geiger, was the son of a farm extension agent in Iowa and inherited his father’s passion for helping farmers succeed. In the 1960s, Heritage Bank N.A. was formed by a group of small midwestern farm banks.

When Congress chartered Farmer Mac, in the aftermath of the 1980s Farm Crisis, Heritage Bank was one of the first banks to join the program, providing long-term farm real estate loans to stabilize America’s agricultural economy.

By 1995, Heritage Bank became one of the ten largest agricultural banks in the United States. Since then, the bank has diversified and evolved. Acres Bank* was created in 2023 to carry on the legacy of agricultural real estate lending.

Agricultural lending has changed over the decades, but we’ve never forgotten our roots and the lessons we’ve learned from working with farmers, especially through tough times.

Helping farmers through generations has impassioned our desire to help finance their goals and see them succeed, strengthening the backbone of America’s rural economy.
