FSA Meeting at Davis Outlines New Loan Structure
Officials of the San Angelo district of the Farm Security Administration discussed bona fide government loans for farm families with B. Miller, supervisor of District No. 12, outlining a system that excludes relief agencies and focuses on reliable citizens. Loans span one to five years for seed, supplies, or equipment, with repayment plans tailored to individual needs. 72 percent of last year’s loans have been repaid. A few loans will be made in Jeff Davis county, with more in Presidio and Brewster, as local officials from Reeves, Pecos, Ward, and Jeff Davis counties attend the meeting.
