Fargo, N.D. – AgCountry Farm Credit Services and United FCS officially merged under the name AgCountry Farm Credit Services on July 1. Stockholders approved a merger proposal in April 2017, bringing together the two Farm Credit organizations.
The new organization operates in 65 counties through 38 offices in eastern North Dakota, western Minnesota and central Wisconsin. Headquartered in Fargo, N.D., the Association has nearly 600 employees, serves nearly 18,000 customer-members, and has approximately $7.2 billion in assets.
“We believed from the beginning that the culture, values and vision of both cooperatives made this a natural fit,” said AgCountry CEO Bob Bahl. “Or goal has been to build on the strengths of both organizations to best serve our members. In today’s ag economy, the geographic and commodity diversity we gain from bringing the associations together will make for a stronger cooperative that’s even better able to meet the needs of producers and rural America.”
