AgTexas Farm Credit Services  makes a concerted  effort to finance all producers and property owners, including young, beginning and small (YBS) farmers.

What is 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.

AgTexas believes that Young, Beginning and Small Farmer loans can be made on a safe and sound basis. We work with government and farm agencies, including the FSA Guaranty Program as a preferred lender, to assist these operators in their credit needs.

Additionally, the Association supports the extension service in education programs, FFA and 4-H in their youth programs and local universities in agricultural education.
