We've watched By the Yard - Outdoor Furniture grow from an idea in a garage into the business it is today, and getting to be part of that journey has been pretty special. 💚

Roger and Debby took a chance on an idea, brought it to the Minnesota State Fair, and the rest is history. More than 30 years later, it's been rewarding to watch that idea grow and to continue building a relationship that started right from the beginning.

With the Fair starting today, it felt like the perfect time to share their origin story. 🎡

Thanks for letting us be part of it, By the Yard.

When you're in the field, every minute matters. Equipment breakdowns, unexpected repairs, fuel costs, or changing conditions can happen without warning.

That's why local decisions matter.

With a HomeTown Bank Operating Line of Credit, you'll have flexible access to funds and a local lending team that understands agriculture and can make decisions quickly when timing is critical.

Because when harvest is underway, waiting isn't an option.

➡️ Talk with your local ag lender before harvest begins.

If someone promises "free money" for college, it's time to ask questions.

As students head back to school, scammers ramp up fake scholarship offers, student loan forgiveness programs, and tuition payment scams.

A legitimate scholarship or lender won't ask you to pay to receive money.

A little BTS action 👀

We had the privilege of catching time with Roger and Deb, owners of By the Yard, for a testimonial shoot today before their team starts the hustle and bustle of Minnesota State Fair prep. As longtime HomeTown Bank customers, it was so great to hear the story of how By the Yard got started and why they chose HomeTown Bank as their financial partner.

As Deb said, “From the beginning of By the Yard, we learned from HomeTown that the way to do it is to work local and with people you know and trust, and they trust you. And it worked. 36 years later, we’re still here.”

We couldn’t agree more. There’s something pretty special about growing alongside local businesses and the people behind them. 👏

We can’t wait to see what Rod and Cal from Rassman Media Group put together from the footage they captured today. Stay tuned! 🎥

Our Treasury Management team spent the day together learning, collaborating, and getting further hands-on training with our new treasury management platform.

With team members across several of our offices, these opportunities to be in the same room are valuable. We get to share knowledge, learn from one another, and strengthen the support we provide to our business customers.

And of course, we made time for lunch and some good conversation, too. Because building strong relationships with the people you work alongside makes for a stronger team. 🤗

Always learning. Always growing. Always looking for ways to make banking easier for the businesses we’re proud to serve. 🤝

We're hopping on the "kinda chic" trend... HomeTown Bank style. 💚

Turns out community banking has always been kinda chic. 💁‍♀️
