Favorite part of being an Ag Credit loan officer:

My favorite part of being an Ag Credit Loan Officer is without a doubt our dedication to serving agriculture. I don’t know of another career path that would allow me to serve agriculture in the capacity that we do, or of another organization that is as dedicated to an industry as Ag Credit. Both my fellow staff members and the members of our Association are some of the best people I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with.
