The National Council of State Agricultural Finance Programs (NCOSAFP) provides national representation for states that operate finance programs for farmers, ranchers and the agricultural industry. Organized in November 1984, the NCOSAFP is a non-profit organization that provides a forum for sharing ideas and serves as an information clearinghouse for its member state agencies and the general public they serve. The council provides information about state programs being developed across the nation and on farm finance issues and legislation developing in Washington, D.C. The council is also involved in the promotion and support of rural economic development programs
