In 1923 the members of Staplcotn formed Staple Cotton Discount Corporation (Stapldiscount), to serve the credit requirements of Mid-South agriculture. The two cooperatives have a common board of directors and officers, and they share a home office in Greenwood, MS. Both of the institutions are nationally recognized as leaders in their respective fields.

Services

Since its founding, Stapldiscount has financed millions of acres of Mid-South crops as well as provided financing for a broad range of agricultural activities including:

Farm Equipment
Land purchases and improvements
Cotton gins and warehouses
Flying services
Seed processors

We do not have different rates for different borrowers. Each loan gets equal treatment, the same low rate, and the best service possible. That's the co-op way.

Stapldiscount currently serves accounts in five states, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri. Please see the map below for more information on contacting the loan officer nearest you.
