Beginning Rancher Testimony

NIFA’s First-Time Farmer/Rancher loan allowed our young farm family to purchase acres at very low interest to make our small seed stock cattle operation viable. The NIFA loan played a part in helping expand our purebred cattle operation.  We now have genetics from our small operation on 3 continents and 5 countries across the world and from California to Virginia in the U.S. It is a great program and we are very thankful it was available to us.” Jeff C., Adams, NE
