It is the goal of our leadership to return approximately 50% of the net income of the Association on an annual basis. The Board of Directors assess the capital needs of the Association, loan performance of the portfolio, and the economic forecast in determining the actual dollars returned each year.
Because of our successful financial performance in 2024, the board of directors approved the return of $10.9 million in cash to the stockholders. This disbursement occurred in March 2025.
Cooperative Advantage
As a co-op, Louisiana Land Bank is owned by the people it serves. This structure gives borrowers—farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, rural homeowners and other rural landowners—a strong voice in the association’s operations and a vested interest in its success.
