Farm Credit Mid-America, ACA and its subsidiaries, Farm Credit Mid-America, FLCA and Farm Credit Mid-America PCA are lending institutions of the Farm Credit System. FCMA is a member-owned cooperative providing credit and credit-related services to, or for the benefit of, eligible members for qualified agricultural purposes in all counties in the state of Indiana; all counties in Ohio, with the exception of Marion, Crawford, Wyandot, Hancock, Seneca, Wood, Ottawa, Lucas and Sandusky; all counties in Kentucky, with the exception of Graves, Hickman, Carlisle, Fulton, Ballard, McCracken, Calloway, and Marshall; and all the counties in Tennessee.
FCMA borrows from AgriBank and provides financing and related services to members. Our ACA holds all the stock of the FLCA and PCA subsidiaries and provides lease financing options for agricultural production or operating purposes. The FLCA makes secured long-term agricultural real estate and rural home mortgage loans, provides lease financing options, and holds certain investments. The PCA makes short-term and intermediate term loans and provides lease financing options for agricultural production or operating purposes.
FCMA offers various risk management service credit disability, crop hail, and multi-peril crop insurance for borrowers and those eligible to borrow. The Farm Credit System is a nationwide system of cooperatively owned banks and associations established by Congress to meet the credit needs of American agriculture.
Associations are authorized to provide, either directly, or in participation with other lenders, credit and related services to eligible borrowers. Eligible borrowers may include farmers, ranchers, producers or harvesters of aquatic products, rural residents and farm-related service businesses. In addition, associations can participate with other lenders in loans to similar entities. Similar entities are parties that are not eligible for a loan from a Farm Credit System lending institution, but have operations that are functionally similar to the activities of eligible borrowers. Associations are also authorized to purchase and hold certain types of investments.
