Alberta Farm Credit Plan Expands Holdings
K. G. Taylor of the Agriculture Department says about 1,400 applications for farm credit have been approved. The act allows farmers to borrow to start new holdings or expand current ones to form larger economic units. Purchasers must be 21 to 55, Canadian or British subjects, and Alberta resident for three years with up to 20 percent down. The government lends 50 percent of the total of 10 000, whichever is less, with up to 20 years to repay at five percent interest.
