Central Kentucky Ag Credit is part of the Farm Credit System, which is a nationwide network of cooperative lending institutions that provide credit and financially related services to farmers, ranchers and their cooperatives. With more than 100 years of agricultural lending experience, the System is the largest single producer of agricultural credit in the United States. The cooperative structure of Central Kentucky Ag Credit allows farmer-borrowers to own and control the Association and keeps the Association committed to serving rural credit needs. This is an important feature that sets the Association apart from most other commercial lenders.
