Central Texans Prospects for Vets Land
Veterans in 10 Central Texas counties face a $7 500 farm loan program this September with about 222 potential applicants from a total Texas veteran pool of 800 000. Officials project roughly 5 000 statewide loans before funds run out, but many will be unable to meet the five percent down payment or other loan requirements.

Veterans Land Board aids Texas veterans in farm loans
Texas veterans may obtain loans up to 10000 dollars through the Veterans' Land Board to buy farms, with 2500 dollars down. The program aims to place veterans on modest farms, though few small units exist at 7500 dollars. Many buyers will seek larger tracts around 10000 dollars, and some groups may form to share loans.
