Farm Credit of Florida, the leading agricultural lending cooperative in the state, has distributed a record-breaking $20 million in cash to its member-borrowers this spring through its patronage program, President and CEO John Gregory announced. This year’s patronage declaration, approved by the Association’s Board of Directors based on 2024 net income, reflects strong earnings and a solid capital position. The $20 million distribution effectively reduces the interest paid by member-borrowers and represents an impressive 53% of the Association’s 2024 net income.
We are excited to announce a significant milestone in our journey of growth and development: the expansion of our Ocala office! We broke ground on December 12, 2024, and have commenced building efforts.
