In the heart of rural America, agriculture is more than just an industry—it’s a way of life. For generations, farmers have dedicated themselves to feeding the world, often facing unpredictable circumstances. At Farm Credit, for over 100 years, our mission has been to support rural communities and agriculture in good times and bad. That’s why we are proud to support Farm Rescue, an organization that provides vital assistance to farm families when they need it most.
The Uncertainty of a Single Harvest
For many row crop producers and their families, annual income hinges on the success of a single harvest. Every season brings a unique set of challenges—weather extremes, market fluctuations, and input costs—but the greatest risk of all can be the unexpected: an illness, injury, or a family crisis that prevents a farmer from getting into the field. When time-sensitive tasks like planting or harvesting are disrupted, an entire year’s income, or even the entire farm, can suddenly be in jeopardy. The financial strain, combined with the emotional toll of not being able to work the land, can be overwhelming.
A Helping Hand in Crisis
Farm Rescue steps in during these critical moments, providing farm families with the assistance they need to keep their operations running. Whether it’s planting, harvesting, or haying assistance, Farm Rescue mobilizes volunteers and resources to ensure that no farm is left behind due to unforeseen hardships.
At Farm Credit, we recognize that our relationship with the agriculture community goes far beyond business transactions. It’s about being a true partner—one that understands the unique struggles of farming and offers meaningful support beyond financial services. By supporting Farm Rescue, we’re helping to ensure that farm families have a safety net when they need it most.
Strengthening Rural Communities
Agriculture is the backbone of rural America, and when farmers thrive, rural communities flourish. Farm Credit’s unwavering support for initiatives such as Farm Rescue reinforces our commitment to sustaining rural livelihoods, protecting family farms, and fostering resilience within the industry.
We are honored to be part of an effort that reflects the very values rural America stands for—hard work, perseverance, and having each other’s backs. Because at the end of the day, supporting farmers goes beyond numbers on a balance sheet; it’s about ensuring the future of agriculture for generations to come.
