Farmers State Bank of Elkton was charted as a commercial bank on October 29, 1913. Banking operations began in Elkton, Minnesota, and continue today serving the surrounding communities of central Mower County. The bank opened with just $3,500 in capital and has grown throughout the years. Today the bank is a well-capitalized institution, positioned to help its customers with all of their banking needs.
Farmers State Bank of Elkton is an independent family-owned bank. It has been in the Schneider family for three generations. J.F. (Hans) Schneider began his career at the bank in 1920 and his son Robert (Bob) Schneider began his career in 1950. Bob’s son, Michael (Mike) Schneider began his career with the bank in 1974 and is currently the bank president. A tradition of strong and stable operations by the Schneider family has helped Farmers State Bank of Elkton customers with all their banking needs.
