Farm Credit Council

Farm credit council is an organization that helps farmers get the money they need to run their farms. You know how your parents go to the bank to get money? Well, farmers do the same thing, but they go to special banks called "Farm Credit Banks."

The Farm Credit Council is made up of all those different farmers' banks so they can work together to make sure farmers have access to the money they need to grow crops and take care of their animals. It's like a big family where everyone helps each other.

Imagine you have a really big garden, and you want to buy some special tools to help you take care of it. But those tools are really expensive, so you don't have enough money to buy them. That's where the Farm Credit Council comes in! They can lend you the money you need so you can buy the tools and take better care of your garden.

So, in short, the Farm Credit Council helps farmers get the money they need to keep their farms running smoothly. They provide loans just like banks where we keep our money, but for farmers to keep their farms growing.
