Our History
More than 100 years of financing rural America
Our History
AgTrust Farm Credit, a rural lending cooperative headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of the most experienced rural real estate and agricultural lenders in the region. We operate 19 offices covering 81 counties throughout north and central Texas and New Mexico, and have more than $3.0 billion in assets.
Established in 1917 as part of the nationwide Farm Credit System, AgTrust Farm Credit has maintained long-standing traditions of independence, strength, stability, and service in meeting the financing needs of our customers. Throughout our history, the dedication of our directors and staff to these qualities has enabled the Association to succeed at its primary purpose: to provide competitive loan products, a fair return on the stockholders’ investment, and to preserve the safety of that investment.
For many years, AgTrust Farm Credit focused solely on financing farms and ranches. In fact, in 1917, we made the very first Farm Credit land loan in Texas.
In early 2014, Long Star Ag Credit merged with Texas Land Bank, another financially strong Farm Credit association that has served rural Texans since 1917.
In December 2023, Lone Star Ag Credit and Ag New Mexico Farm Credit merged forming AgTrust Farm Credit.
Today, AgTrust Farm Credit is a full-service cooperative lender, that specializes in financing rural land and agricultural operations. Our loan specialists understand the needs of farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, and rural homeowners; as well as city dwellers who aspire to find their ideal home in the country.
We are passionate about the customers we serve and strive to be the premiere agricultural lender throughout Texas and New Mexico. We also want to enhance the quality of life in rural America by providing financial solutions to people in the communities we serve. Let us find the best financing options for any of your credit needs and help make your dreams come true!
