A farm loan can be seen as a specific type of mortgage, at least when it’s used to purchase land intended for farming.

You can also use a farm loan for other types of purchases, however. The loan funds could go toward expanding or replacing your fleet of farm equipment or improving and modernizing your farm’s infrastructure, for example. In those cases, there’s a clear difference between a farm loan and a mortgage.
