Florence, SC (April 6, 2026) – ArborOne Farm Credit’s Board of Directors and Management are pleased to announce that the Association was profitable in 2025 and concluded the year with acceptable capital levels. As a result of this strong financial performance, the Board of Directors approved a patronage distribution returning approximately $7.3 million to its customer-owners this spring.

This distribution represents a cash patronage dividend of approximately 56% of last year’s net profits and will benefit both loan and crop insurance customers.

ArborOne Farm Credit’s cooperative structure allows the Association to share its success directly with its borrowers and crop insurance customers. Since 1989, ArborOne Farm Credit has distributed more than $157 million in patronage refunds to eligible customer-owners, representing a portion of the Association’s net earnings. ArborOne Farm Credit is proud to once again share its success with its member-borrowers.

“The past few years have been challenging for many of our farmers due to low commodity prices and high input costs. During tough times like these, ArborOne is especially proud to be able to pass on a portion of its profits to our customers.”

— Bryant Sansbury, President and CEO
