This past week Farm Credit Fellow Mara Michaud, of Old
Town, Maine visited the Derby office. Mara will be going into her senior year
this fall at the University of Maine at Orono. She will graduate with a
Bachelors Degree in Financial Economics, with a minor in Business.
During her time in the office she learned about being a
loan officer, spent time with related financial services (taxes, payroll and
records), worked with appraisal staff on a farm inspection, and met with a
Yankee consultant to learn more about their role on farms.
Mara has time before she has to make plans for after
graduation, but is interested in record keeping and other financial related
services. She was surprised to learn about the many different roles within Farm
Credit.
