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.
