Farm Families Map 1959 Plans With FHA Loans
Lancaster County farmers using Farm Homes Administration loans completed 1959 plans with improved practices. Richard W. Hoover notes better farming methods from the Pennsylvania College of Agriculture and Extension Service, including milk weighing, artificial breeding, soil testing, forage programs, and soil conservation. The program emphasizes records, budgeting, ASC and SCS benefits, and increased average family income from about 6500 to over 15000.
