Farm Credit of Florida is a federally chartered, locally operated agricultural lending cooperative that provides loans and financial services to farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, and rural property owners across Florida. As part of the nationwide Farm Credit System established by Congress in 1916, the association supports rural communities by offering financing for farm operations, land, equipment, rural homes, and related agricultural enterprises, with profits returned to member-borrowers through patronage dividends.
