Ag New Mexico News and Bulletin Board

Young, Beginning or Small Farmers program available from Ag New Mexico

For many farmers and ranchers, we were the first, and often the only, lender they considered when they began their farming operations. Many of these farmers continue to use Farm Credit for all of their operating needs. Our loan officers understand agriculture and the challenges involved in a new farm operation, transferring an existing operation, or expanding into new commodities or territories.

Are you a Young, Beginning or Small Farmer?

• A Young farmer is one who is 35 years of age or younger.
• A Beginning farmer is one who has 10 or fewer years' farming, ranching or aquatic agriculture experience.
• A Small farmer is one who generates less than $250,000 in annual gross agricultural or aquatic sales.

Our loan officers will be glad to review your situation and give you expert advice on our financial programs.

We work closely with government and farm organizations to ensure that young, beginning and small farmers and ranchers get the same opportunities and benefits as their larger, more established counterparts.
