Sound Banking Scheme Empowers Farmers Independence
Rome California June 23 About 80 percent of Playa county farms are self supporting due to a ten year bank driven program. Bank president John M Graham began in 1921 to stop loans that ruined food self sufficiency and the result is rapid repayment of federal farm loans and a shift to diversified crops. Farmers now grow own food and sell surplus, reducing dependence on cotton. Local merchants and farmers praise the plan as salvation amid declining crop prices.
