rolling the dice.

As o farmer, you put your trust in equipment and people you can depend
on. Whether you’re talking about tractors, combines or banks, you want
consistent and dependable performance. A Norwest 7 year, 7% fixed rate
equipment loan is just what you need to put you in the driver's seat
Imagine the comfort in knowing you'll have the equipment you need for
years to come, purchased new at an affordable rate.
It's just another way our diverse financial services are redefining
agricultural banking. Call us today for information on bans for all sectors
of the agriculture industry. With a change of luck like this, we think you'll
add Norwest to that list of top performers you can rely on.

20% Dcvm.Annual payments must be auto-drafted out of a Norwest account Available throughout January
