Recreation enterprises on farms rise with FHA and SCS support
The Soil Conservation Service and Farmers Home Administration aided farm based recreation plans. In 1964 about 13 000 individuals planned or expanded farm recreation ventures, with FHA guarantees funding 169 loans to individuals and 63 nonprofit groups totaling about 7.0 million dollars. Projects ranged from farm vacations to large scale developments like a 15 million dollar Missouri project with a 1500 acre lake. Farmers should study local competition as large public attractions can complement private ventures.
