Supporting and enabling our customer-owners to achieve their goals of greater sustainability
There is no simple, one-size approach to sustainable agriculture. Financing sustainability is no different. The right way is the one that works for you. This begins with a simple premise: To be sustainable, it must be economically viable.
Producers have always understood that good stewardship supports profitability. New today is the exponential growth in sustainable practices and technologies. We don’t prescribe production methods; those are individual choices left to you. We focus on insights for good decision-making, tailored lending to support your improvement needs, and the long-term sustainability of the agricultural industry.
As a producer-owned cooperative, we are committed to helping today’s producers build something better for future generations.

“The single species cover crops burned up and did nothing, while the more diverse mixes produced significant amounts of forage, tonnage and biomass for those farmers.”
