VALLEY FARM CREDIT HAS BEEN FINANCING AGRICULTURE - GENERATION AFTER GENERATION

We are an active supporter and contributor to the Young, Beginning and Small Farmer community. Valley Farm Credit sponsors many activities related to this group including FFA & 4-H and county fairs just to name a few. Additionally, we promote and sponsor many educational workshops and conferences that benefit Young, Beginning and Small Farmers.

Valley Farm Credit has been financing all types of farmers for over 90 years including many Young, Beginning and Small Farmers.

WHO ARE YOUNG, BEGINNING and SMALL FARMERS?

  • YOUNG FARMER is one who is 35 years of age or younger.

  • BEGINNING FARMER is one who has 10 or fewer years farming, ranching or aquatic agricultural experience.

  • SMALL FARMER is one who generates less than $250,000 annual sales in agricultural or aquatic enterprises.

Valley Farm Credit loan officers understand agriculture and the many difficulties of beginning a new farm operation, transitioning to the next generation or expanding to different commodities. We make a concerted and cooperative effort to provide financing and related services to Young, Beginning and Small Farmers.

We work closely with many government and farm organizations, including the Farm Service Agency (FSA) Loan Guarantee and Interest Rate Assistance Programs as an effective way to assist the Young, Beginning and Small Farmers in our service territory.

To learn more about our lending practices for Young, Beginning or Small Farmers, call or email your local Valley Farm Credit office. Our loan officers will be glad to review your situation and offer expert advice on the lending program and other financially related services that may work best for you.
