Hello Mark, All:
I was once in our CASBA booth at an event, and a fellow came up to me, shook my hand, and announced, "I provide loans for straw-bale homes."  After picking myself up off the ground, I asked him why.  "They're better built." was his answer, basically noting that folks pay more careful attention to details such as waterproofing around windows and doors, etc.  And all the other reasons we all know that make bale buildings superior.  
This fellow is:  Terry Phenecie, 1st Priority Financial, Redwood Valley, CA, 707/485-0318, terryp41 at adelphia.net

Good luck,
David
PS:  The exact details portrayed above may not be entirely accurate, but that's how I like to tell the story.

Greetings Fellow Baleheads,  I have bought land here in Bozeman, Montana to build the cities first load bearing straw bale home. The issue I am having is finding a lender for the construction portion. Do any of you fine people have any recommendations of lenders for straw bale construction.  I look forward to your responses.  Happy Holidays!
