At a time when many reports coming from the financial world are delivering bad
news, there is one lender that is still doing well
—and, more importantly, is sharing its success with its borrowers. Capital Farm

distribution
—through the lending cooperative’s patronage program. More than $265 million has been returned to Capital Farm
Credit customer-stockholders since 1997. As the state
’s largest rural lending cooperative, Capital Farm Credit is owned by its
customers, who in turn, share in the co-op
’s financial success. Patronage payments help lower the effective interest rate
paid by customers, and prove why it pays to do business with a cooperative like
