Why AgChoice Farm Credit?
The Customer-Owned Advantage
Over the years, AgChoice Farm Credit has shared a cooperative spirit that is unparalleled. During the past 90 years of AgChoice's existence we have witnessed many changes. Our roots began as rural communities and agriculture focused on and better understood the needs of part-time farmers, rural homeowners, forest products industry and also production agriculture.
From the very beginning, serving the needs of agricultural producers is the only reason for our existence. We've witnessed every change and new development within the agricultural industry and surrounding rural communities for over 90 years. We understand agriculture and we understand country living.

The Farm Credit System Advantage
Today, the Farm Credit System provides more than $120 billion in farm loans to nearly a half-million borrowers, including farmers, ranchers, rural homeowners, agricultural cooperatives and rural utility systems.
Unlike commercial banks, farm credit system banks and associations do not take deposits. Instead, loan funds are raised through the sale of system-wide bonds and notes in the nation's capital markets.
There are six regional Farm Credit Banks in the Farm Credit System, one bank for Cooperatives and one Agricultural Credit Bank. Typical farm credit services offered by the regional banks and associations include real estate loans, operating loans, country home mortgage loans, credit-related life insurance, crop insurance and various financially-related services such as farm business consulting and financial planning.
AgChoice Farm Credit is affiliated with AgFirst Farm Credit Bank.
