I filled out the online "contact us" and received back this reply (cut-and-paste):

"Good morning! I want to thank you for showing an interest in Home Federal Bank, but I do apologize, we do not open accts at this time for residence who live out of state. Sorry for the inconvenience."

ACH transfer would suffice.
