Roosevelt’s farm relief plan drives new loan and debt tools

The measure funds $2 billion in Federal Land Bank bonds to refinance mortgages, offers five year interest relief, and allows direct loans where no local farm loan group exists. Reconstruction Finance Corp aids farmers with up to $5,000 loans to buy time, while processors face taxes to fund price parity.
