About Us
Our Financial Cooperative
Who we are.
Farm Credit of Southern Colorado is a financing cooperative that focuses on providing credit to farmers, ranchers, and rural Americans in Southern Colorado.
The Farm Credit System is the largest single provider of agricultural credit in America, including our award-winning Farm Loans and Financing services.
Your partner in agriculture since 1916.
At Farm Credit of Southern Colorado, we believe that agricultural financing is a full-time job, so we’ve given it our undivided attention since we began doing business in 1916. And as a network of locally managed lending offices, we have a unique understanding of your business challenges and opportunities.
We know ag. It’s what we do. It’s where we live.
Our Board of Directors
Our Colorado Farm Loans and Financing Board of Directors is comprised of 12 members: 10 active borrowers that are elected by all of our cooperative members, and 2 external directors appointed by the board.
These directors meet at our headquarters buildings and oversee committees, the association, and help guide our CEO who in turn leads our association.
