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.

The Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Program, a joint effort of Farm Credit East and CoBank, recently provided more than $100,000 in grant funding to 22 organizations to assist their efforts to encourage youth leadership development, support young and beginning farmer initiatives, promote diversity, equity and inclusion, and advance northeast agriculture, forestry and commercial fishing. 

Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting rules went into effect on January 1. This means most United States entities will need to identify and begin submitting information about their beneficial owners. To help Northeast agricultural producers remain compliant, Farm Credit East is hosting a free informational webinar on Monday, June 10 at 12:00 p.m. EDT.

Farm Credit East is currently seeking creative images of modern Northeast agriculture, commercial fishing and forest products to fill the pages of its 2025 Agricultural Views calendar. Upload picturesque images from the farm, woods or dock by July 31 for a chance to win $100.
