Our Mission: Enhancing Life in Agriculture and Rural America

Who We Are
AgStar Financial Services is a cooperative owned by our client-shareholders. We are directed by a 17-member Board of Directors. Our client stockholders elect fifteen directors, and the elected board appoints the outside director positions.

Who We Serve
We serve farmers, ranchers, agricultural-related enterprises with loans and related services.  We also serve rural and small town residents with home, site and property loans. Our Rural Capital Network team is devoted to serving community and economic development, infrastructure needs and revitalization projects in Rural America as well.

AgStar is proud to be part of the Farm Credit System.  As a Farm Credit entity, you are eligible for our loans, leases and related services if:

  • You are an individual or legal entity engaged in farming or ranching. Farming includes full- or part-time activities associated with raising and/or caring for livestock, grains, horses, fruits, vegetables, horticultural plants, timber and any other plants or animals in a for-profit business.
  • You have an agribusiness providing services directly related to agricultural production or you process and market agricultural products.
  • You are seeking financing for a residence in a rural area or town with a population under 2,500. 
  • As part of the Farm Credit System, formed in 1916, we assist clients in our Local Service Area. We also serve leasing clients and agribusinesses throughout the Midwest.

What We Do
AgStar operates in 69 counties located in Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin, and we are one of the larger Farm Credit associations in the nation. Now serving more than 23,000 clients, we manage almost $8 billion in loan and lease assets with more than 610 dedicated team members.

We provide a full range of financial services, including accounting, appraisals, business management, consulting, farm cash management, fleet management, online banking and tax planning and preparation. Our financial products include a wide range of agricultural loans, leases, crop insurance, life insurance and home mortgages. And as a client-owned cooperative, we provide solid returns for our stockholders.
