Farm Credit of Western Arkansas
Farm Credit of Western Arkansas was
established in 1916 by the federal government to ensure accessible
and fair credit for rural America. They offer a variety of both
short-term and long-term loans, featuring both variable and fixed
interest rate options. There are numerous loans options available to
fit the needs of farmers, ranchers and rural home owners in the 41
western Arkansas counties they serve. Farm Credit is not like any
other lender in that they are a cooperative meaning that they are
owned and managed by the members they serve. Because they are a
financial cooperative their members also share in the profits when
it's been a good year. Farm Credit has distributed more than $71
million to their members over the past 16 years. They are able to
finance a lot of agriculture like rural homes with large acreage.
Their rates are competitive and they can offer benefits like
Patronage Refunds that aren't found anywhere else. Farm Credit is
committed to helping young and beginning farmers get established in
farming and have a special lending program to assist them. They also
offer $2500 loans to youth in FFA or 4-H with animal projects. These
loans are low interest and help teach our youth responsibility with
money. They also offer great equipment rates through AgDirect at
local equipment dealers. AgDirect administers the program and
offers what we've seen to be very competitive rates on equipment.
Farm Credit is located at 800 Magnolia Street in De Queen you can
