Farm Credit Administration aims to serve farmers better
The Farm Credit Administration, almost two years old, began with an executive order in May 1933 to coordinate federal agencies aiding agricultural credit. It established permanent units across districts, including Federal Land Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, a Production Credit Corporation with 600 plus associations, and a bank for cooperatives. The system finances production through associations, charging low rates and government supervision, while farmers become partners in a cooperative network.
