This special time of year is dedicated to honoring the hardworking farmers, ranchers, and agri-businesses that form the backbone of our communities. Agriculture is more than an industry—it’s a way of life, and we understand its vital role in feeding the nation, driving local economies, and sustaining rural communities.
Farming is more than just planting and harvesting; it’s about dedication, innovation, and resilience. At Northwest Bank, we recognize the vital contributions of the agricultural industry and the essential role it plays in ensuring a thriving future. From family farms to large-scale operations, agriculture is at the heart of what we do.
As a trusted financial partner, we are committed to supporting our local farmers and agribusinesses with the financial tools and resources they need to succeed. Whether it’s farm loans, equipment financing, or risk management solutions, we’re here to help our agricultural community grow and prosper.
Our deep roots in rural America allow us to understand the unique challenges and opportunities faced by those in the ag industry. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing personalized service, innovative financial solutions, and steadfast support year-round.
During National Ag Week, we invite you to join us in recognizing the hard work and dedication of those who help put food on our tables and sustain our communities. Follow us on social media as we highlight local farmers, share industry insights, and showcase how Northwest Bank is making a difference in agriculture.
We invite you to contact your local Ag Banker today!

National Ag Day is a time when producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America gather to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by American agriculture.
Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis. But too few people truly understand this contribution. This is particularly the case in our schools, where students may only be exposed to agriculture if they enroll in related vocational training. By building awareness, the Agriculture Council of America is encouraging young people to consider career opportunities in agriculture.
Each American farmer feeds more than 165 people ... a dramatic increase from 25 people in the 1960s. Quite simply, American agriculture is doing more - and doing it better. As the world population soars, there is an even greater demand for the food and fiber produced in the United States.
