$10,000 Donation to Camp Blessing
Texas Farm Credit recently made a $10,000 donation to Camp Blessing to support their purpose of providing help and hope to people of all abilities through Christ-centered camp experiences.

Each year since 2018, Texas Farm Credit has held its employee retreats at Camp Blessing. The 158-acre facility outside of Brenham, Texas offers a large pavilion outdoor meeting space, cabin lodging, renovated indoor meeting spaces, and accessible outdoor recreation amenities perfect for groups to gather and bond.

This donation is part of Texas Farm Credit's Passion Forward initiative which aims to give back 2% of their annual net income to local, charitable organizations each year. Through that program, Texas Farm Credit matches all employee donations dollar for dollar up to $150 annually. The employees of Texas Farm Credit joined efforts to personally donate $5,000 which was then matched by the association.
Photo Contest Results
The tenth annual Texas Farm Credit photo contest encouraged customers and employees from the Texas Farm Credit service area to submit photos of crops, livestock, farm families, wildlife, and outdoor scenery. The outpouring of beautiful photos we received will help build a 2022 monthly calendar that illustrates our region's rich diversity. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos and congratulations to these winners!

Be sure to stop by your local branch office and pick up a copy of the calendar in November!
Customer Spotlight: Knolle Dairy Farms
A Dairy Revival
Fresh air and fresh cheese attract customers to Knolle Dairy Farms.
Joe Knolle Jr. didn't intend to launch a new business in the middle of a pandemic. For four years, he and his wife, Christina, had been hatching a plan to add value to their South Texas Jersey dairy operation. Their goal? To make and sell fresh Mexican-style cheese — queso fresco, in Spanish — on their farm at Sandia, northwest of Corpus Christi.
There was only one thing to do — fast-track their business plan and start making cheese, a move supported by their lender, Texas Farm Credit.
