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.
About the CFPB and Cooperative Extension:
The CFPB is a federal agency dedicated to making sure people are treated fairly by banks, lenders, and other financial institutions. Learn more at the CFPB website.
Two listening sessions are available. Choose the one that works best for you:
Wednesday, August 9, 6:30-8:00 pm Eastern / 5:30-7:30 pm Central / 3:30-5:00 pm Pacific.
This session is timed to work well for people in the Eastern and Central time zones, but participants from any time zone may join. This session will use a virtual whiteboard technology, so a computer and internet access are required.

No preparation is needed. You will be asked to share your observations and experiences related to accessing credit and other financial services. Space is limited, so registrants will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline for registration is Thursday, July 13th.
After you register, you will receive an email confirmation with additional information about the event.
