About Farm Credit

Farm Credit is a nationwide network of customer-owned financial institutions that provides loans and related financial services to U.S. farmers and ranchers, farmer-owned cooperatives, rural homebuyers, agribusinesses and rural infrastructure providers. As customer-owned cooperatives, Farm Credit institutionsare governed by the customers they serve and have a specific mission to support rural communities and agriculture - in good times and bad. Farm Credit loans help U.S. agricultural producers feed the world, rural businesses grow and the rural economy thrive. Farm Credit infrastructure lending helpsbring clean water to rural families, modern telecommunications to help rural businesses compete and reliable energy to rural communities. Farm Credit's mission remains just as vital today as it was when we made our first loan more than 100 years ago.
