NORFOLK – Farmers and ranchers in Antelope, Cedar, Madison, Pierce, Stanton and Wayne counties will be receiving $8.9 million in cash-back dividends returned by Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica) as part of the financial cooperative's patronage program, paying 1% back as a cash-back dividend. Eligible customer-owners were issued cashback dividend checks the last week of January.
“FCSAmerica’s long-standing commitment to its customer-owners is demonstrated through our cashback dividend program,” said Bob Campbell, FCSAmerica senior vice president of lending in Nebraska. “This return effectively lowers borrowing costs while also empowering farmers and ranchers to reinvest in their livelihoods and the communities they call home.”
