Cooperative Voting

As a cooperative, Farm Credit is owned and controlled by our customer-members.  One advantage of belonging to a cooperative is having a voice in how the organization is run.  For example, all stockholders, regardless of the size of their investment, have a vote in electing the board of directors.

Our board is comprised of 16 representative stockholders plus two non-borrowers appointed by the board.  The board sets policy and governs the association. The board's efforts are supported by more than 950 farmers and professionals in ag-related fields who serve as advisors.

Each fall, members have the opportunity to vote for candidates running in for director positions. Check back this summer when we post the board members up for election in the fall of 2007.
