Farm Credit Mid-America sends hundreds of employees to volunteer with Farms to Food Banks, a program through which extra produce is gleaned from farmers' fields and donated to local food banks.

Farm Credit partnered with the Farmer Veteran Coalition and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture to create the Homegrown By Heroes label that veteran farmers can use to differentiate their products and spur conversation with consumers.

CoBank, a national cooperative bank serving Farm Credit associations, agribusinesses and rural infrastructure providers, has partnered with the National Rural Water Association (NRWA) to underwrite a program that will target and train the next generation of technical workers needed to ensure the future operation of critical water and wastewater systems in rural communities. 

Since it's founding in 2002, the North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge has reached more than 6,200 students, teaching them critical thinking, decision-making, team building and communications skills. Farm Credit is a proud partner of this high impact program.

Farm Credit is proud to announce the recent launch of the National Young Farmers Coalition’s Finding Farmland Calculator, an innovative new decision-making tool built specifically for farmers seeking land.
