Welcome to the Farm Credit System

The Farm Credit System is a nationwide network of borrower-owned lending institutions and specialized service organizations. We provide more than $160 billion in loans, leases, and related services to farmers, ranchers, rural homeowners, aquatic producers, timber harvesters, agribusinesses, and agricultural and rural utility cooperatives.

Congress established the System in 1916 to provide a reliable source of credit for the nation's farmers and ranchers. Today, the System provides more than one-third of the credit needed by those who live and work in rural America.

Here you will find information about the Farm Credit System, the customers we serve, and career opportunities. If you are looking for a Farm Credit office near you, visit our Locations page.
