Iowa Family Farm loan program sights first shaky start
The Iowa Family Farm Development Authority rehums its second attempt at a loan program for struggling and beginning farmers. Banks are scarce and not insured, with 70 lenders in a week and 150 last winter. Loans require local bank participation, 11 to 13 percent interest, and collateral. The program uses industrial revenue bonds to back loans, not insurance. Hawkins notes Hills Bank participates but limits to its customers. Greiner expects the first loan to be certified Monday.
