Crop Insurance: 1,200+ Policies
Crop insurance is a risk management tool that is used to put a safety net under cash income. When production is low or harmful weather such as floods, drought, or hail occur, it can damage or potentially destroy your crop. Crop insurance plans protect farmers so that they can financially meet both their personal and business obligations, no matter what happens.

Farm Credit EXPRESS: $188 Million Loan Volume
Started by Horizon Farm Credit in 2000, this program enables local equipment dealers to offer convenient financing or leasing options to their customers while at their location. It is now offered by more than 15 Farm Credit Associations.

Farm Credit System
The Farm Credit system was founded in 1916 to provide America’s farmers, ranchers and rural communities with reliable and consistent credit. Today, there are more than 55 independently operated Farm Credit organizations across the country and Puerto Rico, each providing financial assistance to their local communities. Our cooperative structure ensures that our customers are also our owners, allowing them access to our unique profit sharing program, known as patronage.
