Established in 1917 as part of the nationwide Farm Credit System, Lone Star Ag Credit has maintained long-standing traditions of independence, strength, stability and service in meeting the financing needs of our customers. Throughout our history, the dedication of our directors and staff to these qualities has enabled the association to succeed at its primary purpose: to provide competitive loan products, a fair return on the stockholders' investment, and to preserve the safety of that investment.
For many years, Lone Star Ag Credit focused solely on financing farms and ranches. In fact, back in 1917, we made the very first Farm Credit land loan in Texas. In the late 1990s, Lone Star Ag Credit created a secondary market department to handle loans for the purchase, refinance, and construction of rural homes. These loans are competitively priced and are sold into the secondary market in order to insure the best possible rates.
In January 2001, Lone Star Ag Credit formed a short- and intermediate-term lending division. As a result, Lone Star customers can now work with one credit officer to meet all of their financing needs, whether it's for real estate, operating, equipment or livestock funds or agribusiness needs.
Our mission at Lone Star Ag Credit is to build lifetime relationships through financial solutions.
