Farm Credit Illinois

Farm Credit Illinois Welcome to Farm Credit Illinois in Decatur, IL - a farmer-owned & directed cooperative. We serve DeWitt, Macon, and Moultrie counties.

Farm Credit Illinois (FCI) is a farmer-owned and directed agricultural lending cooperative dedicated to supporting Rural America and agriculture with constructive credit, risk management services, and financial expertise today and tomorrow. The Association serves10,000 farm families with $5 billion of farm and agribusiness loans and 1.2 million net acres of crop insurance coverage. FCI employs 240

staff based in the Mahomet central office and 14 regional office locations throughout its 60-county service area in central and southern Illinois. As a cooperative, FCI’s voting member-owners elect 12 of their peers as directors to the board and two additional individuals are appointed as outside directors. The Board of Directors ensures the cooperative carries out its mission. The Association is part of the national Farm Credit System created by the U.S. Congress in 1916 to support rural communities, farm families, and agriculture with reliable, consistent credit and financial services. Today, the System is a network of cooperatives providing more than one-third of the credit needed by those who live and work in Rural America. Although the System is a Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE), Farm Credit is completely self-sustaining and operates without financial support from the federal government. Farm Credit employees live and work in the communities which they serve. Their deep understanding of agriculture enables them to provide knowledgeable and effective service to farm families, rural landowners, and agribusinesses. FCI is committed to improving the quality of life for farmers and Rural America while fulfilling its core purpose of Helping Farm Families Succeed.

Four raised beds, 128 square feet total. Every plant has a job — nitrogen-fixing, pest-deterring, soil-breaking, or pollinator-attracting.

Bed 1 — tomato system. Four staked tomatoes down the center. Basil within twelve inches of every stem. French marigolds at every corner. Lettuce as living mulch underneath. No peppers in this bed — same family, shared diseases.

Bed 2 — pepper system. Sweet peppers in the center with bush beans flanking them. Beans fix nitrogen in the soil, feeding heavy-feeding peppers all season. Onions along both edges. One rule: sweet or hot in this bed, not both. Cross-pollination won't change this year's fruit, but saved seeds grow hot next year.

Bed 3 — cool season. Broccoli and cabbage grouped together so one row cover protects them all. Beets along one edge. Kale at the corners. Dill at both ends — let it flower to attract beneficial wasps. Spring crops come out by June, replant the same bed with fall brassicas in July.

Bed 4 — vine and vertical. Trellis along the back. Cucumbers and pole beans climb it, tripling the growing surface. Summer squash spreads forward. Nasturtium trails along the front edge as a trap crop — aphids choose nasturtium over vegetables.

Strawberries get their own dedicated bed or containers. Runners invade shared beds within one season.

Four beds. Every plant earning its space 🌱
