BANKS

Helping farmers build a brighter future...

Lori Hillison “I have had 27 years of banking experience-25 years in the ag field. My most important goal is to provide a warm and friendly atmosphere in order to make my customers feel at home when they come in the bank. Farming has presented many challenges over the years. I have always been supportive of my customers and worked with them in any way I can through both the good times and the tough times.”
