It's National Black Business Month. To support Black row crop farmers, the National Black Growers Council (NBGC) model farm field days are continuing this summer with a final stop in Georgia. 🌽🌾 Earlier this year, Isaac E. Bennett, FCBT chief credit officer and a former NBGC advisory board member, represented Farm Credit at the event in Tanner, Alabama, alongside Farm Credit colleagues, USDA representatives and other industry stakeholders.

We've been a leading source of credit and financial services for agriculture and rural America since 1916.
About us
The Farm Credit Bank of Texas has been a leading source of credit and financial services for rural Americans for more than 100 years. Our long and successful history of financing agriculture and rural America is rooted in our cooperative structure and in other distinct business advantages: We are owned by our customers; therefore, we operate in their best interests and share our earnings with them in the form of patronage. We don't take deposits. Rather, we access the nation's money markets through the sale of AAA-rated Farm Credit bonds, which provides a reliable source of funding for rural Americans. Our policies are set by our board members, who are Farm Credit customers elected by their fellow customers. This form of governance offers transparency to our owners and investors. We are part of the Farm Credit System, the nation's single largest source of loans for agriculture, agribusiness, rural real estate and country homes.

Our Chief Apprasier Tyler Mullins participated in the Association Leadership Program last week, which is hosted by our funding bank, the Farm Credit Bank of Texas. The group of delegates toured the Federal Farm Credit Funding Corporation in New Jersey, explored the Financial District in New York, and visited legislators on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. “The trip was an excellent opportunity to learn about a side of the Farm Credit System that many never get to see," Tyler said. "It's an honor to meet with our legislators and speak on behalf of our associations about the issues our stockholders face. Additionally, the trip gave me an opportunity to network with other Farm Credit employees across our district. I am so grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow."
