There's a lot of cabbage in corn country. Just ask First Midwest Bancorp, the holding company for First Midwest Bank. Through about 100 branches, the bank mainly serves suburban Chicago, though its market extends into central and western Illinois and neighboring portions of Iowa and Indiana. Focusing on area small to midsized businesses, it offers deposit products, loans, trust services, wealth management, insurance, and retirement plan services; it has approximately $4.5 billion of client trust and investment assets under management. Commercial real estate loans account for more than half of the company's portfolio; commercial and industrial loans are around a third.
