Farm debt relief plan aims at sustainable repayment
Farmers using supervised FSA credit may receive debt adjustments through local farm debt adjustment committees. Community volunteers mediate between debtors and creditors to align payments with a sound farm and home management plan. Adjusted indebtedness depends on future income, with extensions possible and continued FSA support. An agreement in South Dakota with the Federal Land Bank of Omaha seeks to extend distressed Land Bank loans based on income from developed plans.

Strained Credit Barrier Is Hurdled By S. D. Farmers
South Dakota farmers, aided by the Farm Security Administration under state director J. B. MacMillan, gained access to rehabilitation loans despite adverse weather. Loans target those lacking credit elsewhere and are paired with government supervision to foster self-reliance, soil conservation, and diversified enterprises. In 1939, repayments and net worth rose as livestock and purebred stock improved, with 11,276 loan adjustments totaling 3.24 million dollars and grants over 3.5 million.

Soil sampling and grass seeding experiment guidance
Professor Franzke advises collecting four to five small soil samples from a field, mixing them into a single sample, and planting grass seed half an inch deep in a well drained container. Plant 100 seeds, water, keep warm for five to six weeks, and expect a good stand if at least half germinate. State College agronomy studies rotation crops to reduce seedling blights in South Dakota.
