Are you a farmer or rancher? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and members of the Cooperative Extension System want your input on the financial needs and priorities of farm and ranch families. Better understanding the experiences of farm and ranch families will help both the CFPB and Cooperative Extension work on behalf of consumers in farming and ranching communities.
