STERLING, Colo -- The Logan County Chamber of Commerce recently recognized Premier Farm Credit as Business of the Week.

Premier Farm Credit’s cooperative structure helps it support rural communities and agriculture with credit needs.

While Premier Farm Credit represents six counties including Logan in northeast Colorado, it is part of the nationwide Farm Credit System that started in 1916 to provide reliable and consistent credit and related services to support the needs of American farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

Premier Farm Credit business is a lending-cooperative meaning that is owned entirely by our borrowers who are farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses in northeast Colorado. These customers have a share in their institution’s success.

Mike Grauberger was named CEO in 2017 and brings more than 30 years of Farm Credit experience with him. His tenured team offers experience and is available to help with anyone needing Ag financing or related services.

Premier Farm Credit specializes in loans (real estate, operating, machinery, equipment, livestock, sprinklers, equipment, buildings, vehicles etc.) insurance (crop and life) and appraisals (appraisals for loans, fee appraisals and chattel appraisals). Premier prides itself in specializing in agriculture, with its employees living and working in northeast Colorado.

Premier Farm Credit is located at 229 S. Third St. Sterling.
