Farm Credit System (FCS)

The Farm Credit System (FCS) is a nationwide network of cooperative financial institutions that provide loans and financial services to farmers, ranchers, agricultural businesses, and rural communities. It functions like a specialized bank, offering credit for buying land, equipment, operating expenses, and other needs, often with favorable terms. Owned and governed by their borrower-members, FCS aims to support the growth and sustainability of agriculture and rural areas through affordable and reliable financial assistance.
