DENVER CoBank, a cooperative bank serving agribusinesses, rural infrastructure providers and Farm Credit associations throughout the United States, today announced that Jason Lueders has been appointed as the bank's new Farm Credit Leasing President.
In this new role, Jason will provide overall leadership for FCL's national footprint providing leasing solutions to agribusiness and rural infrastructure cooperatives, and farmers and ranchers of the Farm Credit System.

He has also led CoBank's Coop Start initiative that targets small and emerging cooperatives across the country, and serves on the boards of the Agricultural Retailers Association and the Ralph K. Morris Foundation. Prior to joining CoBank in 2007, Jason was a relationship manager in US Bank's Food and Agribusiness Group where he worked with agribusinesses across the US, and he started his career as a credit analyst with Community First Bankshares (aka Bank of the West) in Fargo, North Dakota.
