Government investment in Texas Production Credit Associations
The Texas associations loaned production funds in 1942 totaling over 61 million, with total loan cost including interest and fees at about 1.284 million. By year end 1942 they held substantial government-backed stock and surplus, while the Production Credit Corporation remains the government’s sole capital contributor. Net charge-offs over nine years equal 1.36 percent of loans, with governance by farmer stockholders and a five-member board selecting the association manager and loan committee. No further government appropriations have been made beyond the initial investment.
