AgWest Farm Credit is an agricultural lending cooperative formed by the merger of Farm Credit West and Northwest Farm Credit Services in January 2023. It serves farmers, ranchers, timber harvesters, and aquatic producers across seven western states. Services include financing, insurance, and financial tools tailored to agriculture and related industries. The company's unique selling proposition is its customer-owned cooperative model, which allows it to return profits to members through patronage dividends, reducing borrowing costs. AgWest focuses on supporting rural communities and providing specialized financing options for young, beginning, and small producers.
