Talmadge Plans Rural Credit Network With 10 Banks
Senator Herman E. Talmadge drafts a broad rural development bill proposing a network of 10 regional rural development banks. The plan would funnel several billions in private credit annually to rural areas for factories, water systems, housing, education, and law enforcement, backed by a rural development investment administration. Initial funding would come from the federal government, with borrowers buying stock to replace government investment and funds raised by selling securities to private investors.
