The Nation's Largest
Rural Lending Network
The Farm Credit System (FCS) has provided more than $123 billion in credit and related financial services to all types of agribusinesses and agricultural enterprises.
We serve farmers, ranchers, aquatic producers, and rural homeowners as well as farm-related businesses, agricultural cooperatives, and rural utilities. We also finance foreign and domestic entities involved with international agricultural credit transactions.
The Farm Credit System is large by virtually any measure. At our 90th anniversary, we had:
- Nearly half a million customer/owners
- Offices available for all 50 states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico
- More than 10,000 employees
- Assets in excess of $160 billion
Our greatest strength and most distinctive feature, however, is our cooperative structure. FCS is a network of rural financing cooperatives, each owned by its member-borrowers.
We will always be focused on the needs of our borrowers because they are the owners who shape our services. This unique perspective keeps us closely involved in the local communities we serve, and fuels our passion to ensure customer success.
In our business model, we're not just building profit margins, we're building relationships.
