DECEMBER 2021
Message from the President One of the unexpected outcomes of the pandemic has been a significant number of people changing jobs and careers with one in four workers changing jobs over the past year. The reasons for career changes are varied but include burnout, pandemic fatigue, low wages, poor benefits, work-life balance concerns, and the list goes on. One explanation perhaps not talked about as much is the gap that often exists between what the employee and employer value and a lack of BRIAN RICKER employee connection with the purpose and mission of the company. In a recent study, 90% of millennials said it was either “somewhat important” or “very important” that the work they do has a positive impact on the world. Most people, especially millennials, want a job that feels meaningful and is purpose driven. We have been fortunate over the years at AgCredit to have many loyal, tenured, passionate and hard-working employees. I attribute our good fortune to the purpose of our work, our mission, values, culture and our cooperative structure. The mission at AgCredit is something very fundamental and important to our cooperative’s success. Our mission is talked about during the interview and continues through employee onboarding. When difficult decisions are made, our mission statement, core values and other guiding principles help us with our decision process. I am very thankful to work for an organization and industry that I view as highly purpose driven. I wanted to share a little more depth into our mission and purpose here at AgCredit. The mission statement has changed very little since the board of directors first developed it in the early 1990s. Our mission statement reads as follows: A cooperative lender who returns profits to its borrowers and is dedicated to serving our rural community. We focus on building, nurturing and maintaining lifetime relationships for our customers’ and employees’ success. Being a cooperative lender is core to our mission and our purpose. As a cooperative, our customers are uniquely owners of AgCredit, and they share in its prosperity. Unlike corporate structures where distant investors own the business and expect a favorable rate of return on their investment, our borrowers are the owners. The cooperative model allows our borrower-owners
to be elected to the board of directors and to govern the association. We often say “Who, more than farmers, knows what farmers need?” Returning profits to our borrower-owners through patronage is included in our mission. Our goal is to price to the market and return any excess profits to our borrower-owners. For patient borrowers who study our 34 years of patronage history and consider the entire AgCredit value proposition, they will find an ever-changing market where interest rates are in constant flux. A competitor will invariably have a “special rate” of the week or month, however it is my belief over the long haul, it will be difficult to find a better all-around lender and advisor for your operation. Serving our rural community is an important part of our overall Farm Credit mission, and this allows us to extend our outreach in a giving and serving way to help the rural community where many of us reside. By making an investment in our youth through special YBS lending programs, by supporting FFA and 4-H, by giving through the AgCredit Mission Fund and through many other programs, we strive to meet this broad part of our overall mission. Being there for our rural community in the good and challenging times is an important part of our mission. We believe by tailoring a well-balanced, constructive financial package that enhances the success of a customer’s farm, rural property or agribusiness, we will effectively nurture that lifetime relationship. Ultimately, it is through service to others where a lifetime relationship of trust can be built, and both our customers and our employees enjoy this success. We are here to help our customers choose a product or service that is right for them and is in their best interest. In addition, we serve in an industry that provides food, feed, fuel and fiber to the world. It is this type of purpose that helps us to be thankful we have a career and job that is meaningful and purpose driven. We here at AgCredit are very grateful for all of our borrowers and for the relationships that have been built through the years. We’re looking forward to sharing details about our association patronage and financial results in early 2022. We’ve been fortunate to return on average 33.7% of accrued interest in cash over the past five years and are looking forward to another very successful year. Until then, we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

FIELD NOTES
Higher Loan Limit Now Available
3
for USDA Guaranteed Farm Loans
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on October 4th that a higher loan limit will be available for borrowers seeking a guaranteed farm loan starting October 1, 2021, from $1.776 million to $1.825 million. “Farm loans are critical for our customers’ annual operating and family living expenses, emergency needs, and cash flow,” Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Zach Ducheneaux said. “Raising the guaranteed loan limit will allow FSA to better meet the financial needs of producers as natural disasters and the pandemic continue to impact their operations.” FSA farm loans offer access to funding for a wide range of producer needs, from securing land to financing the purchase of equipment. Guaranteed loans are financed and serviced by commercial lenders. FSA provides up to a 95% guarantee against possible financial loss of principal and interest. Guaranteed loans can be used for both farm ownership and operating purposes. In fiscal year 2021, FSA saw continued strong demand for guaranteed loans. FSA obligated more than $3.4 billion in guaranteed farm ownership and operating loans. This includes nearly $1.2 billion for beginning farmers. The number of guaranteed borrowers has grown by 10% to more than 38,750 farmers and
ranchers over the last decade. FSA expects the increasing demand for farm loans to continue into fiscal year 2022. AgCredit is a preferred lender with USDA FSA and is pleased to see a higher loan limit was made available. AgCredit, along with the Farm Credit Council and other Farm Credit System institutions, have advocated for the limit to be increased. Approximately 28% of AgCredit’s loan volume is guaranteed through USDA FSA.
2022 Agricultural Census The USDA needs your help to accurately portray Ohio’s agriculture story by participating in the 2022 Agricultural Census. Statistical information drives decision-making at all levels of the government. The Agricultural Census is an indispensable tool that assists in developing and administering programs that oversee and promote farm vitality, consumer protection, conservation, trade, and economic development. Every five years, the USDA is charged with estimating crop and livestock production through the Census of Agriculture, and they need your help to make the upcoming census possible. From the smallest operation to the largest, every farm counts, so please participate. Visit www.agcounts.usda. gov/getcounted to complete the survey.

Set Up to Succeed: My business transition story BY RYAN CONKLIN, ATTORNEY, WRIGHT & MOORE LAW CO., LPA
I’ve been sharing advice farm families and land owners can use within the pages of this magazine for several years. Consistent with the focus of Wright & Moore, these articles primarily focused on succession planning. This time, rather than sharing advice on preserving and growing operations for future generations, I’d like to offer you a more personal story and a few of the lessons I’ve learned from that experience.

RYAN CONKLIN
A few weeks ago, our office announced that my bosses, Robert and Kelly Moore, are selling the firm to me effective Jan. 1. Only six years into the practice of law, here I am set to take over a firm deeply rooted in Ohio’s agriculture industry. With our long-standing focus on business transitions, Robert, Kelly and I felt this was a change we had to get right. Heading into my tenure as principal of the firm, several factors fill me with confidence that this is going to work out. First, while the transition kicked into high gear this year, the Moores identified me as their successor years ago, mentored me at every opportunity over the years and gained my commitment to stick around. The transition began with short discussions about office management, continued with the gradual opening of financials and peaked when management decisions started coming my way. Training to run the business takes time, so we agreed it was important to start early. Second, proper preparation prevents poor performance. After Robert and Kelly told me about their impending exit, we immediately prepared a working outline of the
subjects we needed to address over the course of the coming year. That list was three pages long, but it ensured we stayed on course and tackled all transition elements. By preparing our to-do list early, it kept us on-task throughout 2021. Third, we were able to achieve buy in and advice from key stakeholders early in the process. Changing ownership of Wright & Moore can’t occur in a vacuum; rather, it takes many professionals who can identify blind spots and address potential issues. For this reason, Robert, Kelly and I engaged our accountant, bookkeeper and colleagues to ensure we were covering all the bases. Fourth, and most importantly, maintaining open lines of communication was essential. Recognizing my knowledge gaps early on, I sought every opportunity to gain as much knowledge as possible. Robert and Kelly responded with grace by making themselves available to advise whenever I needed their wisdom and experience. There’s never a penalty or cost to over-communicating. Undercommunicating, however, often leads to significant problems down the road. Bringing a new owner into a business is a sink-or-swim situation, regardless of the amount of preparation. However, there’s a big difference between trying to swim in the 15-foot end of the pool vs. the shallow end. For an additional set of “floaties” in that pool, Robert and Kelly are staying with the office long-term. I’m grateful to have their guidance at the ready when inevitable challenges arise. As you transition a farm or business, I hope you’ll feel free to borrow from these lessons and improve your own experience. I look forward to interacting with many of you in the coming years as Wright & Moore continues its sustained relationship with AgCredit.

The relationship my agency has with AgCredit is something else to be thankful for. The Douce Agency (formally Milligan Agency) and AgCredit are in year 15 of a close, working relationship. AgCredit can be your one-stop shop for all things crop, as well. Your paperwork can be turned in at your local AgCredit office and when it comes time for crop insurance sign-ups, the agents of the Douce Agency can meet you there, at our office or at your farm. Crop insurance is also important to AgCredit as the profit they receive helps their bottom line. I am thankful for the team I have that takes care of our customers. I want to take this opportunity to ensure everyone is familiar with the crop insurance team at the Douce Agency:

Andy Schultz is an agent with the Douce Agency, specializing in farm and crop insurance. Andy has been with the agency since August of 2017. Having been in the insurance field for approximately six years, he brings that expertise to all his clients. Andy also has an extensive farming background having grown up on a 600-acre farm. He has helped manage all aspects of farm operations from raising corn, soybeans and wheat to raising cattle. Rounding out the team of crop experts at the Douce Agency are Shiloh Stimson and Nadine Miller. These team members are the administrative assistants to Caleb, Allen and Andy and help with all aspects of the crop insurance product. As an agency, we are so happy you have chosen us to take care of your needs, and it is certainly our pleasure to do so. Remember, crop sign-ups are in March, so if you would like to bring your crop insurance to AgCredit and the Douce Agency, please call us in January or February to make that transition. Have a safe and happy holiday season!
I’m Caleb Douce, the owner and principal agent of the Douce Agency, LLC. I have been involved with insurance and financial services since 2008 when I graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University.

• Form 1099-DIV – Dividends and Distributions Shows dividends of $10 or more earned on Class A Preferred stock.

The taxable patronage for 2021 is your 2020 cash patronage that was distributed in late March or early April.
Member Summary Statements
• AccountAccess payments prior to the daily cut-off time will post to your account the next business day.
AgCredit mails summary statements to each borrowing entity at the end of January, but they are available on AccountAccess in mid-January. These statements are informational in nature and are not sent to the IRS.
» The cut-off time is generally 2:30 p.m., but it may be earlier. AccountAccess provides the actual cut-off time.
Your member summary statement shows beginning and ending loan balances, interest paid, fees paid, stock and allocated equity balances.
• You can pay all or a portion of your accrued interest in 2021 and get credit for 2021. » The team at your local AgCredit branch can help you to determine the amount.
AGCREDIT LEADER DECEMBER 2021
• Form 1098 – Mortgage Interest Statements
• You can pay your Jan. 1 mortgage loan payment before the close of business in 2021 and get credit for the interest in 2021.
AccountAccess
You can conveniently manage your account information anytime from anywhere with AccountAccess. • Free, 24/7 access to your account. • Quicker availability of IRS tax forms and the member summary statement. • Request draws on your line of credit and make loan payments.
» You cannot use escrow (funds held) interest credit to pay a portion of the payment and get credit in 2021.
• See loan balances, activity, interest paid, billing statements and more.
• Interest paid during 2021 on your loans secured by real estate will appear on IRS Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement or your annual statement.

• Consult with your tax preparer on interest deduction tax reporting.
Reviewing 2021 Payments Through AccountAccess
You can help ensure the accuracy of your loan transactions for 2021 through AccountAccess. Doing this before Dec. 31 will give you time to notify the office if there is an issue and allows time to make the changes in 2021. This will help ensure that your tax and other annual statements are correct.
IRS Informational Returns
We report informational returns under the person or entity listed as the primary borrower for the borrowing entity. Statements are available on AccountAccess in mid-January. Paper forms, along with your Member Summary Statement, will be mailed in late January.
• Avoid late fees. Your payment is posted as soon as the next business day. • Download our free mobile banking app to your smart phone from the Apple App store or the Google Play store. Search for AgCredit Mobile. If you’d like to sign up for AccountAccess or if you’ve forgotten your password, please call 1-844-275-9534 or email AASupport@farmcredit.net. Finally, as we approach the end of the year, remember to jot down your inventories and other information to complete a balance sheet and income statement in preparation for the financial analysis of your business.
