WASHINGTON, D.C. – Farm Credit Council President and CEO Todd Van Hoose released the following statement in response to the Center for American Progress’ (CAP) report, Promoting Climate-Resilient Agricultural and Rural Credit. “We appreciate the Center for American Progress focusing on climate change’s impact on farmers, ranchers and rural communities across the United States.

It has been fulfilling its mission of helping rural America grow and thrive for more than a century with the capital necessary t...
