FarmLaunch Loan Program
As a leader in agricultural finance, Farm Credit understands the unique challenges that come with starting a new agricultural operation. That’s why we created FarmLaunch—a program designed to support young and beginning farmers, including military veterans, who are entering the agricultural industry with limited resources.
FarmLaunch is available for the purchase of farm-related assets, including real estate, machinery and livestock, as well as farm operating expenses. Beyond financing, the program connects participants with educational resources and mentorship to help build strong business practices and establish a lasting relationship with a trusted lender.
