There are such loans.

Farmer Mac for one offers a line of credit that is secured by a 1st mortgage on farm land that has a 5 year draw period followed by a 20 year payback if you still have a balance on it. Please be careful with them, They can get you into a financial difficult situation if you do not use it properly. I have witnessed it more than once.

Farmer Mac limits the loan to av at a low % and their underwriting standards for them are very high too.

Local community banks that have an Ag Lender who actually knows what he/she is doing should be willing to offer them. Farm Credit just depends on the local entity you deal with.
