Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using acrecompass.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use the Site. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Site.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Description of Service

AcreCompass provides educational content, guides, lender comparisons, calculators, and other resources related to agricultural financing. Our goal is to help farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners understand their financing options and make informed decisions.

Important: What AcreCompass is not

AcreCompass is not a lender, loan broker, financial advisor, or financial institution. We do not originate, fund, or service loans. We do not provide personalized financial, legal, or tax advice.

AcreCompass earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with lenders and financial service providers. When you click certain links on our Site and take a qualifying action (such as submitting a loan application), we may receive a commission from the lender. For full details on how we are compensated, see our Advertiser Disclosure.

No Financial Advice

All content on AcreCompass is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes financial advice, investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, or any other form of professional advice.

Interest rates, loan terms, program eligibility requirements, and other financial details displayed on the Site are approximate and subject to change without notice. The information presented reflects our research at the time of publication and may not reflect current rates or terms offered by any lender.

You should always consult with a qualified financial advisor, accountant, attorney, or other professional before making financial decisions. Loan terms, rates, and eligibility are determined solely by the lender based on your individual circumstances.

Affiliate Relationships

Some links on AcreCompass are affiliate links. This means that when you click on these links and complete a qualifying action — such as submitting a loan application or closing a loan — we may earn a referral commission from the lender or affiliate network.

Affiliate commissions do not affect the rates or terms offered to you by lenders. The fees we receive are paid by lenders from their marketing budgets, not by borrowers. Whether you arrive at a lender through AcreCompass or directly, the rates and terms you are offered are determined by the lender based on your creditworthiness and application.

For a complete list of our current affiliate relationships and how compensation works, please review our Advertiser Disclosure.

Third-Party Links and Services

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including lender websites, USDA and government agency portals, state agriculture departments, and other external resources. These links are provided for your convenience and reference.

AcreCompass does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. When you leave AcreCompass and visit a third-party site, that site's own terms of service and privacy policy apply. We encourage you to review the terms and policies of any third-party site you visit.

Your interactions with third-party lenders — including loan applications, approvals, terms, and servicing — are solely between you and that lender. AcreCompass is not a party to any transaction between you and a lender.

Accuracy of Information

We strive for accuracy in all content published on AcreCompass. However, we cannot guarantee that all information — including interest rates, program details, lender offerings, eligibility requirements, and USDA program specifics — is complete, current, or error-free at all times.

Agricultural lending products, USDA programs, and lender offerings change frequently. Rates fluctuate, program rules are updated, and lender product lines evolve. While we work to keep our content up to date, there may be delays between when information changes and when our content reflects those changes.

Always verify information directly with the lender, government agency, or other source before making financial decisions. If you notice information on AcreCompass that appears to be outdated or incorrect, please contact us at editorial@acrecompass.com so we can review and update it.
