Today, the Farm Credit System provides more than $90 billion in farm loans to more than a half-million borrowers, including farmers, ranchers, rural homeowners, agricultural cooperatives rural utility systems and agribusinesses.

There are six regional Farm Credit Banks in the Farm Credit System, one bank for Cooperatives and one Agricultural Credit Bank. Typical farm credit services offered by the regional banks and associations include real estate loans, operating loans, country home mortgage loans , credit-related life insurance, crop insurance and various financially-related services such as farm business consulting and financial planning.
