I have never had a problem getting a loan on vacant land. The difference may be that the land I have purchased has trees on has been cleared for farming, which may not be the case in your area.
If you clear the land and use it for farming, I presume the bank will loan money based upon that use. However, here, you purchase the land for investment only, and there is no possibility of income. So, the banks typically won't loan on it.
