The War on Poverty seeks to aid family farms with a $947.5 million package, funding farm and nonfarm enterprises. In Southern Illinois, no farmers have yet applied for certain loans, though officials see potential for $1,300 and $2,500 loans to expand operations and diversify into recreation and hunting ventures. Local advisers caution that many farmers already have credit and that timing for recreation spending remains uncertain.
