25 Years of Patronage Cash

$151.5+ million to Western Arkansas members since 1997.

Farm Credit of Western Arkansas

Marketing & Communications Team

In late February, Western Arkansas members shared $11.5 MILLION in 2021 association profits. More than $151 MILLION in Patronage Cash has now gone to members since the association begin distributing patronage 25 years ago. A proud milestone for the association.

Members sharing in the association’s profits is a cornerstone of Farm Credit’s cooperative business model. While the risk of Covid necessitated another year of mailed checks, we highly anticipate hosting patronage events at local offices next year. Employees are eager to resume celebrating this unique benefit with members in person.
