Idaho AgCredit has programs for Young, Beginning, and Small farmers (YBS) that will help them accomplish their farming or ranching goals. It is part of our mission to provide sound credit to enable Young, Beginning, and Small farmers to begin, grow, or remain in agricultural production and to facilitate the transfer of agricultural operations from one generation to the next. We are a Preferred Lender with the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Our experience and knowledge of the FSA programs is just one of the many ways we provide operating, equipment, livestock, and real estate loans to YBS producers.

We encourage inquiries for loans from all agricultural producers, including market segments that may be overlooked by other lenders, such as loans to youth or individuals who are just getting started in farming or ranching and individuals who are farming or ranching in “new markets” such as specialty crops, farm to table, or farmer’s markets.
