This week marks the 100th anniversary of Farm Credit organizations here in the United States. Over the last century, these organizations have provided critical funding for new farmers, farmers who have been in business, and families for many, many years. I know that in my own family situation, my father was on the board of directors of the Land Bank in Stockton, California. When my wife and I wanted to start our own ranch, for the first 2 years, we relied upon the Farm Credit associations. And so it is all across America, as farmers try to continue their business to provide the food for our Nation and around the world, the Farm Credit organizations are there to make sure that the money is available for the operations of those farms and ranches. ____________________
