CoBank’s customers provide
the critical lifeline services we all depend on – food, water, energy
and communications. Either located in rural communities or
supported by rural agriculture, our customers are playing a vital role in
rural America. Agribusinesses and Agricultural
Cooperatives
Many of CoBank's customers are involved with some form of
agribusinesses, whether it be growing, processing, marketing,
transporting or exporting farm products. Agribusinesses range from
small local and large regional agricultural
cooperatives to multinational food companies, to financial service
cooperatives serving agricultural producers.
Rural Energy, Communications and Water Companies
Across the country, CoBank works with rural energy, communications,
and water cooperatives and companies. We provide funds to extend
electric service to residential and business customers, to install new transmission lines,
to build renewable energy generation facilities, to upgrade rural water
systems, to expand fiber optic networks, and to diversify service offerings to include wireless technology
and satellite TV.
Agricultural Credit Associations (ACAs)
CoBank also provides funding to five Agricultural Credit Associations, which
in turn deliver financing to farmers, ranchers, aquatic producers, rural
homeowners and rural businesses. This financing includes real
estate loans as well as loans for equipment, working capital and other
agricultural production purposes. Our ACA partners include
Farm
Credit of Maine,
Farm Credit of Western New York,
First Pioneer Farm Credit,
Northwest Farm Credit
Services and
Yankee Farm Credit. |
