Farm Credit Fellows

The Farm Credit Fellows program is once again getting students involved in Farm Credit and learning about ag lending by putting them out in offices throughout New York and New England. This week there are three students in Yankee territory alone. Another will come later in the summer.

The one-week internship program has 28 students this year from the University of Vermont, the University of Maine, and Cornell University. While visiting a Farm Credit office students are learning about the relationship between lenders and members, understanding financials, and how understanding the numbers can help you run a better business.

The students from the University of Vermont are pictured below at their spring trip to Farm Credit East in Enfield, CT.


The four Fellows that will be visiting Yankee Farm Credit are:
Cameron Clark - Newport, May 16-20
Katie Bliss - Middlebury, May 16-20
Ricky Hall - White River Junction, May 16-20
Cassie Osgood - St. Albans, August 15-19
