Agricultural Loan Officer

Agricultural Loan Officer — Barry County, Missouri (Community Bank)

Are you passionate about agriculture and ready to make a real impact in your rural community? A well-established, family-focused community bank serving Barry County and southwest Missouri is seeking an Agricultural Loan Officer to build lasting relationships with local producers, farmers, and agribusiness clients.

This isn’t a desk job—you’ll be out in the field, meeting with producers, learning about their operations, and helping them access the financing they need to grow and succeed. If you value agriculture, relationships, and community, this role offers the perfect blend of all three.

What You’ll Do

Build and manage a high-quality portfolio of agricultural and rural loans

Develop new relationships through on-site farm visits, networking, and community involvement

Analyze credit risk, cash flow, and collateral to structure sound, competitive loan packages

Ensure portfolio profitability, credit quality, and regulatory compliance

Collaborate with an experienced support team and approachable executive leadership

What We’re Looking For

1+ years of experience in community banking, agricultural finance, or lending

Strong personal or professional background in agriculture (farm or ranch experience preferred)

Excellent communication, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills

Sound judgment and attention to detail in credit analysis and customer interaction

Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, ag economics, or equivalent experience

Why Join This Bank?

Strong reputation and deep relationships throughout the Barry County ag community

Supportive, team-oriented culture with exceptional employee retention

Competitive compensation, full benefits, and professional development opportunities

Real potential to grow your career within a respected, stable institution
