Farm Agency Announces Year's Program and Loans
Avin E. Boise of the Farmers Home Administration announced higher operating credit appropriations for the fiscal year starting July 1. Scott County initial operating loans total 19009 dollars, with aims to reach more families. The program also insures farm real estate loans and offers direct or insured farm purchase loans to qualified farmers, tenants, sharecroppers, and veterans who find sound value farms. Loans target farms with strong long term earning potential, not current high prices. Changes to insured mortgage terms broaden ownership for family type farmers, lowering lender rates and reallocating costs to insurance charges. Lenders gain an assured market and may transfer mortgages to the government after seven years for full payment.
