OMAHA, NEB. (February 4, 2025) – Farmers and ranchers in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming will be receiving $392.6 million in cash-back dividends returned by Farm Credit Services of America (FCSAmerica) as part of the financial cooperative’s patronage program, paying 1% back as a cash-back dividend. Eligible customer-owners were issued cash-back dividend checks the last week of January.  

"FCSAmerica remains steadfast in its mission to support all of agriculture,” said Mark Jensen, the financial cooperative’s president and CEO. “Especially during challenging times, these dividends provide financial support and help ease the pressure on our producers. It's a privilege to lead an organization that consistently gives back to those who are the backbone of our industry."

2025 Cash-Back Dividends Distribution

This year’s cash-back dividend is equal to 100 basis points — or a return of 1% of a customer’s eligible average daily loan balance with FCSAmerica. The 2025 payout equates to the following state distributions and total net income returned since 2004.

Customers whose cash-back dividends are distributed to locations outside FCSAmerica’s service territory are not included in the state-by-state totals. County-level payout data is available on the 2025 Cash-Back Dividends Distribution Map.

The Board of Directors for FCSAmerica has also approved a cash-back dividend to be paid from the cooperative’s 2025 net earnings, the amount of which will be determined in December. Since 2004, FCSAmerica has offered a patronage program and shared its success in the form of cash-back dividends. The cooperative has now returned more than $3.7 billion to farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses across its four-state territory.
