The Farm Credit Administration is an independent agency of the Executive Branch of the federal government of the United States.

It regulates and examines the banks, associations, and related entities of the Farm Credit System, a network of borrower-owned financial institutions that provide credit to farmers, ranchers, and agricultural and rural utility cooperatives, as well as provides oversight for Farmer Mac.

The Farm Credit Act of 1933 was part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, to help farmers refinance mortgages over a longer time at below-market interest rates at regional and national banks.

The Emergency Farm Mortgage Act loaned funds to farmers in danger of losing their properties.
