Mergers, Name Changes, and Other Corporate Activity

FCA is responsible for issuing corporate charters to all Farm Credit System institutions. Therefore, when institutions merge, change their names, and make other corporate changes, they must have these actions approved through FCA.

Recent Activity
Association Merger Receives Final Approval
On April 15, FCA granted final approval of the merger between Sacramento Valley Farm Credit, an Agricultural Credit Association, in Woodland, California, and Farm Credit West, ACA, in Visalia, California. The approval also included the mergers of each ACA’s wholly owned subsidiaries. FCA’s final approval followed an affirmative vote on March 7 by the voting stockholders of each ACA.

The merger took effect at the close of business on April 30. Farm Credit West, ACA, the continuing association, moved its headquarters to Roseville in Placer County, California. The FCA Board had given preliminary approval to the merger on February 14.
