CoBank is a strong and growing financial institution.  We're proud to report that 2006 was the seventh consecutive year of record earnings and returns to our customer-owners in the form of patronage. These results underscore our focus on our value proposition and the dedication to our customers' success shared by every CoBank employee.  It also underscores the successes that our customer-owners have achieved, because our ability to deliver such positive returns year after year depends greatly on our customers' achieving their business goals.

CoBank and other entities in the Farm Credit System raise funds from the sale of Farm Credit securities through the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation.  As a Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE), Farm Credit securities are rated AAA by Standard & Poors and Aaa by Moodys. Our GSE status and related credit ratings allow flexible and timely access to funding at efficient cost.
