Federal Land Bank System

The Federal Land Bank System is a network of government-backed banks that provide long-term loans and financial services to farmers and ranchers. Their main goal is to support agriculture by offering affordable financing for land, equipment, and improvement projects. These banks work collectively through the Federal Land Bank Associations and Federal Land Bank Mortgage Association, helping rural communities access necessary capital, stabilize farm income, and promote sustainable farming practices. They operate under government oversight but function as cooperative institutions, focusing on the financial stability and growth of the agricultural sector.
