No More Five Percent Farm Loans End as Act Expires
Canadian farmers lose government guaranteed five percent loans as Farm Improvement Loans Act expires June 30 with no immediate renewal.

Royal Bank shifts to earnings based credit, offering variable terms up to ten years and shorter real estate and equipment loans. Western farmers face continued access to cash, but not at fixed five percent rates.
