Survey links drought to farm credit in 12 states
A UPI survey of 883 bankers and 171 Production Credit Associations in 12 drought hit states shows about 3 percent of 1977 borrowers cannot qualify for short term loans, vs 1 percent normally. About 4 percent of PCA borrowers lack non real estate credit, up from 2 percent. Despite tight credit for marginal operators, most farmers still qualify for ample funds and overall loan quality remains solid. Texas and Georgia show the highest trouble rates, while refinancings into real estate and government-backed programs help many producers weather the crunch.
