For over 90 years, American AgCredit has made it our business to understand the specific challenges of the Dairy and Beef Cattle industries. From economic and environmental changes, to government regulations and increased operating costs, American AgCredit is both knowledgeable and responsive to the needs of dairy farmers and cattle ranchers and we understand that each dairy and beef operation is unique.

Currently, dairymen in California and Nevada are confronting increased operating costs with higher fuel and feed prices, creating lower profit margins and reducing cash flow. Milk prices are expected to gradually increase into 2007 and the long-term outlook for California’s dairy industry appears positive. Our full range of Operating Loans, Lines of Credit and Lease Products can help during these challenging economic times.

The livestock market continues to be strong in both California and Nevada, however competing interest in the corn market by ethanol producers could raise operating costs for ranchers in 2007.

We are committed to helping you, as a dairyman or rancher, by tailoring our lending products to your individual needs. Our industry-familiar and friendly Loan Officers know what the current market challenges are in your local area, and can help you with a wide range of financial products and services designed to meet the needs of the ever-changing dairy and Beef Cattle industries.
