Your Farm Credit Banker.
Nobody Knows The Field Better.
You'll find Farm Credit Bankers
buttoned up, ready to talk short- or
long-term loans, mortgages and sophis
ticated lines of credit.
Underneath the shirt and tie, you'll
find the one thing the other banks don't
offer. A fellow farmer.
Most Farm Credit loan officers were
born and raised on farms and got their
college degrees from ag schools.
And, if that's not enough, every
single one of our loan officers goes
through the toughest ag lending training
program in
America.

That means when you talk to a Farm
Credit loan officer about any kind of ag
loan, you won't have to waste your time
translating to someone who's book smart
but farm foolish.
What's more, because Farm Credit loan
officers understand farming as well as
they understand finances, they're not
only smarter, they're faster. After all,
they have the same loan closing authority
as many local bank presidents.

afternoon for a new 170,000
square-foot facility for manufac
turing agricultural equipment on
25 acres of land located southeast
of Lebanon, off State Drive and
north of Route 419. The plant is
expected to be operational by
mid-1991.
Bernard Nielsen, president and
chief executive officer, told the
tent full of dignitaries that the
ground-breaking marked a new era
in the history of the Gchl
Company.
“Only five years ago, the agri
cultural equipment industry was
faced with a severe depression,”
Nielsen said. “At that point, we
made a strategic decision to take
advantage of the opportunities and
invest in the future of agriculture
and our business. Over the past five
years we have expanded our busi
ness from $39 million in 1985 to a

projected $175 million this year
through the development and
acquisition of many new
products.”
One of those acquisitions was
the Hedland Martin Manufacturing
Company located in Myerstown.
And it was this contact with Pen
nsylvania and its workforce that
eventually brought Gehl to this
area.
The fact that this historic
ground breaking is happening here
in Lebanon is a real tribute to our
Pennsylvania people,” Nielsen
said. “Quite frankly, Pennsylvania
did not initially surface as the best
location for our first World Class
facility. But with their hard work
and dedication, our employees
here convinced us that they had
what it lakes to be World Class and
the desire to actively contribute to
our success. We are here today
because of their efforts.”
Nielsen also credited the Gover
nor’s Response Team, the State
Department of Commerce, Leba
non Valley Economic Develop
ment Corporation and other state
and local agencies with help.
