About Farm Credit of Central Oklahoma


Young, Beginning and Small Farmer Program

At Farm Credit of Central Oklahoma, we understand agriculture is one of the most demanding and difficult industries, especially for those just starting out. We also recognize the future of agriculture is dependent upon those willing to take up the challenge.

In a calculated effort to ensure the future of agriculture and promote Rural America, Farm Credit of Central Oklahoma has the flexibility and tools available to create a loan program for the young, beginning and small farmer/rancher. An equally important piece to our YBS program is the dedication, experience and expertise of the Farm Credit of Central Oklahoma lending staff, especially when working with applicants who do not meet typical loan underwriting standard. In addition to tailoring one of our flexible financing packages to meet the unique credit needs of a young or beginning farmer, the combined experience of our staff has the ability to work with various Federal and State programs to help make your dream a reality.
