Mission
Its mission is to provide a permanent, reliable source of credit to American farmers, ranchers, producers or harvesters of aquatic products, their cooperatives, and farm-related businesses. It does so by making appropriately structured loans to qualified individuals and businesses at competitive rates and providing financial services and advice to those persons and businesses.
Consistent with their mission of serving rural America, it also makes loans for the purchase of rural homes, to finance rural communication, energy and water infrastructures, to support agricultural exports, and to finance other eligible entities.
