Digger isn’t always better, in farming or in any other business. But there are times when it makes sense to enlarge, remodel or update. If you need several million dollars for your farm expansion, The Ephrata National Bank is probably not your bank. And that is fine with us. Our ag lending policies have always been geared to the small to medium sized operator. In over 100 years of serving consumers, farmers and other businesses in our communities, we have found that well-planned, sensible growth is always better than growth for the sake of growth. Many of your neighbors have come to appreciate our approach to ag lending. Just ask them about us. They’re easy to find. They tend to smile a lot.
