Farm Credit is a mission-driven system of cooperative lending institutions. Supporting people of color in agriculture and rural communities is an integral part of our mission.

The Importance of Diversity in Agriculture

We believe in the future of American agriculture. A diverse set of voices is a critical part of that future. There are a unique set of careers available in the Farm Credit system. Therefore, we are consistently looking for opportunities to recruit talented, young professionals of all identities, to join us in accomplishing our mission.
