Farm Credit Fellows

We are pleased to have the opportunity to take part in the Farm Credit Fellows program again this year.  Fellows spend a week in a Farm Credit office learning about ag lending.  Farm Credit offices throughout New York and New England are involved in this valuable program.  Yankee has hosted two Fellows students so far this year and another will come later in the summer.

The one-week internship program has 23 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.
