ABOUT OKLAHOMA AGCREDIT

Farm Credit was chartered in 1916, as part of a nation-wide cooperative to supply financing for full- and part-time farmers. Oklahoma AgCredit is part of the national Farm Credit System, which extends to all fifty states and Puerto Rico. The Agricultural Credit Association (ACA) is a “holding company” for the Federal Land Credit Association (FLCA) and the Production Credit Association (PCA). The FLCA provides long-term credit for farm and ranch real estate and rural home loans. The PCA provides short- and intermediate-term operating, equipment, and livestock loans. Oklahoma AgCredit is chartered to provide agricultural credit products to operators in 60 of the 77 counties in Oklahoma. The association has a board of directors mostly elected by borrowers/stockholders. In addition, by‑laws require at least two appointed directors. The board of directors is a 12-member board.
