| BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE |
|
Farm Credit is breaking ground on a new regional office in Sherman later this month. The office will be located at 1200 Old Tipton School Road in Sherman (just off Old Route 66/Peoria Road near the Rail Golf Club). The new facility will be a one-story brick building with keystone features over doors and windows. The building will provide nearly 12,000 square feet of office space which is expected to accommodate up to 20 staff in the future and will provide meeting space for as many as 70 individuals. Construction will begin immediately and is expected to be complete by November 1. Farm Credit's employees in the current Springfield and Lincoln offices will be teaming-up to create the new Sherman regional office staff. The Sherman team will serve farmers and landowners in Sangamon, Logan, and Menard Counties. Together, Farm Credit's Springfield and Lincoln office teams manage a $170 million loan portfolio. Crop insurance premiums in the two offices totaled more than $6.8 million last year.
