Farm Credit Celebrates 109 Years of Supporting Rural Communities and Agriculture

On Thursday, July 17, Farm Credit proudly celebrated its 109th birthday, commemorating over a century of dedicated service to agriculture and rural communities. Since its inception in 1916, Farm Credit has been a steadfast partner for farmers and ranchers across rural Texas and the nation, providing financial support and resources to help producers thrive in their operations.

As a proud member of the Farm Credit System, Capital Farm Credit has played a crucial role in the agricultural landscape of Texas, adapting to the evolving needs of the industry and the rural communities we serve. As a family of associations throughout the country, we consistently focus on empowering farmers and ranchers, ensuring they have the tools and support necessary to succeed and withstand ever-changing environments.

“We draw on those experiences as we look to the future,” said Jeff Norte, chief executive officer for Capital Farm Credit. “This commitment to innovation and growth reflects Farm Credit’s dedication to not only preserving the agricultural heritage of rural America but also fostering its future.”

Join us in celebrating another year of serving agriculture as we honor the past and embrace opportunities for the future. Together, we will continue to empower the agricultural community in rural Texas.

Happy Birthday Farm Credit!
