Farm tractor financing plan proposed by Lombard
Mr Norman Lombard, president of the company, proposes a simple tractor financing plan. Farmers pay a cash portion and sign notes for the rest, with payments timed to match savings and increased profits from tractor use. He notes lenders’ distrust of farmers and asserts his firm’s long experience with farm loans. The Federal Reserve classifies tractor paper as agricultural but only for short notes, and government farm loans remain mortgage based.
