AgChoice reports 2021 second quarter results

AgChoice Farm Credit

Rural home, land & part-time farm borrowers continue to drive cooperative’s loan growth

 

AgChoice Farm Credit, a customer-owned financial services cooperative, and a member of the national Farm Credit System, reported strong financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2021.

Net income totaled $24.1 million, an increase of $793 thousand or 3.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, driven mostly by a reversal of allowance for loan losses and an increase in noninterest income, offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

During the second quarter, loan volume grew to $2.430 billion compared to $2.357 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $73 million or 3.1%. Rural home, land and part-time farm borrowers continued to drive the cooperative’s loan growth. Nonaccrual loan volume during the same period dropped from $9.5 million to $7.6 million.

Acceptably-rated loan volume improved to 96.1% for 2021 as compared to 95.0% on December 31, 2020. The Association remains well capitalized, with a total capital ratio of 17.33%, down from 17.71% as of December 31, 2020 due to loan growth and strong patronage distributions.

“With the Association’s consistent growth and solid earnings, we can reinvest in agriculture’s future,” said Darrell Curtis, AgChoice Farm Credit CEO and President. “We’re leveraging our strong financial position to develop new programs to benefit young and beginning farmers and to improve our business services including consulting, accounting, records, tax preparation services and crop insurance. When customers initiate a new loan application or add a new accounting or consulting service engagement through December 31, we’re also offering exclusive savings.”
