Established by Congress in 1916, the FCS is a nationwide network of cooperatives that provide loans and financial services for farmers, ranchers, agribusiness, timber producers, and rural homeowners. The co-ops write loans for homes, land, equipment, and other farm operating costs. AgriBank also provides credit to rural electric, water, and telephone systems.
