Lower Farm loan interest cuts a milestone in credit effort
The Illinois Agricultural Association notes a 3 1/2 percent rate on federal farm loans through national farm loan associations starting July 1, with further reductions tied to the Wheeler Bill. Direct bank loans fall to four percent by July 1, 1935, then rise to 4 2 percent for two years. The changes, part of the Farm Credit Act amendment, aim to ease access to credit for farmers and new buyers, aiding young operators and tenants while preserving security.
