Ag Invest is one of the nation’s largest agricultural linked-deposit programs. It helps hundreds of Illinois farmers, ag businesses and agriculture professionals. The treasurer’s office, through Ag Invest, partners with eligible lenders to offer farmers annual or long-term loans which can be used for operating costs, equipment purchases, construction-related expenses, and livestock purchases.
