Farm Credit East, the Northeast’s largest agricultural lender, recently awarded $90,000 in higher education scholarships to 41 student recipients. Farm Credit East’s scholarship program supports students with diverse career aspirations in agriculture, commercial fishing, forest products and related fields from across the association’s eight-state territory, including four diversity candidate recipients.

Farm Credit East offices will be closed on Wednesday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth. The Federal Reserve System will also be closed, so ACH/Direct Deposit transactions will not be effective Wednesday, June 19.
