Young, Beginning, Or Small Farmers Farm Credit of Central Florida has been financing farmers of all types for over 90 years. For many farmers, we were the first (and often the only) lender chosen as they began their farming operations. Many of these farmers have continued to use Farm Credit of Central Florida for all of their operating needs as their operations have become larger and more complex. Our loan officers understand agriculture and the many difficulties involved in beginning a new farm operation, transferring an existing operation, or expanding into new commodities or territories. We are the agricultural experts! 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. If you are, Farm Credit of Central Florida is ready to help you. Our loan officers will be glad to review your situation and give you expert advice on the financial programs that may work best for you. We work closely with many government and farm organizations, including the FSA Guarantee Program to assist farmers in getting and staying in business.
