The Farm Credit Administration was a New Deal agency established in 1933 to help farmers refinance mortgages over a longer time at lower than market interest rates. It is an independent agency of the Executive Branch of the United States Government and derives its authority from the Farm Credit Act of 1971.
The agency acted as an extension on the Farm Credit System established in 1916.
