Q: “I’d like to be able to lock in a low, long-term fixed rate for a land loan and minimize potential interest rate risk. What can you offer?”
A: “When you’re looking for a low, long-term fixed rate loan, we can help. Unlike many of our competitors, Farm Credit Southeast Missouri can provide low fixed-rate loans with up to thirty year maturities. Many of our competitor’s rates expire after a set time, typically three or five years. Additionally, at each rate renewal period there could be substantial closing costs. By locking in a long term fixed rate loan with us for up to thirty years, you can rest easy knowing your rate will never increase. Set it and forget it.”

To all who have served and are serving today; we recognize, honor, and thank you this Veterans Day.
With deepest sympathy we share with you that Randy Caldwell, Vice President/Relationship Officer, passed away Tuesday, November 3rd after a short illness.
Farm Credit Southeast Missouri Chief Credit Officer, Alan Hicks, stated “Randy worked tirelessly to serve the farmers of Southeast Missouri for the past 36 years. I will remember him as someone who never backed away from a challenge and met them head on. He encouraged all of those around him to be overachievers. Randy played a major role in the development and strong performance of Farm Credit Southeast Missouri over his career. No meeting was ever complete until we had a funny story from Randy. No matter what the mood was, he could always bring laughter to the room and a smile to everyone’s face. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Randy. He will be greatly missed by his Farm Credit family."

The Mississippi County branch is once again participating in the Adopt an Angel campaign through The Foster Parent’s Association. There are many local children who are in Foster and Kinship homes in Scott and Mississippi Counties. It is our hope that by participating in the Adopt an Angel campaign we can bring joy to these children this Christmas Season. Just as in previous years we are given a number of “angels”, who range in age from newborn to 18 years. We will be collecting gifts for our angels beginning Wednesday November 18th and we will deliver our gifts to the Foster Parent’s Association on Friday December 4th. If anyone would like to participate please contact us or stop by and choose an angel from our tree or you can make a monetary donation and we will go out and purchase the gifts for you. We look forward to participating in this project once again and we hope that you do too! With your help, we can make sure that each of these children can have a Happy Holiday and experience the true Miracle of Christmas! Merry Christmas!
