Financing Farmers and Rural America
The Farm Credit Associations of Arkansas are locally-owned and managed financial cooperatives that are part of the national Farm Credit System dedicated to making a significant and positive impact on agriculture and rural communities. The Farm Credit System has supported rural America since 1916 and remains committed to its original mission of providing reliable, dependable credit to farmers, ranchers and rural homeowners.
In Arkansas there are three independent Farm Credit associations. Each association is owned by its members and serves a different part of the state. Farm Credit of Western Arkansas serves the western region, AgHeritage Farm Credit Services serves the central region, and Farm Credit Mid-America serves the eastern region.
Farm Credit’s cooperative business structure sets these associations apart from traditional lenders.
- Customers are member-owners and enjoy member-only benefits.
- By voting to elect fellow members as directors, members have a say in how their association does business.
- Members share in profits when their association has a good year. Since 1997, the Farm Credit Association of Arkansas members have shared more than $243 million in patronage cash.
The Farm Credit Associations of Arkansas’ 11,000+ members include both traditional and non-traditional farmers, rural homeowners, livestock operators and land owners. With more than $4 billion in assets, the Farm Credit Associations of Arkansas support Arkansas agriculture and the rural lifestyle.
