Central Texas Farm Credit Vice-President Branch Manager Wade Polk represented the association at the 2024 Farm Credit Association Leadership Program, hosted by the Farm Credit Bank of Texas.

Our Chief Apprasier Tyler Mullins participated in the Association Leadership Program last week, which is hosted by our funding bank, the Farm Credit Bank of Texas. The group of delegates toured the Federal Farm Credit Funding Corporation in New Jersey, explored the Financial District in New York, and visited legislators on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. “The trip was an excellent opportunity to learn about a side of the Farm Credit System that many never get to see," Tyler said. "It's an honor to meet with our legislators and speak on behalf of our associations about the issues our stockholders face. Additionally, the trip gave me an opportunity to network with other Farm Credit employees across our district. I am so grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow."
