4-H is America’s largest youth development organization. Its hands-on approach has been proven to foster life skills like confidence and independence as members learn by doing.

Recently, Fresno Madera Farm Credit was proud to welcome a group of FARMS Advanced students from the Center for Land-Based Learning to our office for a special Farm Credit field day. The event, held on April 11, gave students a behind-the-scenes look at careers in agricultural finance and the many opportunities available in the ag lending industry.

The Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers & Ranchers (YF&R) Committee empowers young agriculturalists in a wide range of ag-related occupations. By fostering a passion for farming, encouraging advocacy and developing future leaders, the program ensures agriculture remains a vital way of life for generations to come.

Farm Credit, the largest provider of credit to U.S. agriculture, is also committed to the sustainability and long-term viability of agriculture and rural communities and strongly supports non-profits and other organizations working to preserve and protect California agriculture.
