Veterans eligible for 40 year farm loans at 3 percent
Four Washington county men joined a State Advisory Committee of the Farm Security Administration in Baltimore where John D. Leatherman announced a new loan program for veterans returning to farming. Loans, 40 year terms at 3 percent interest, require solid farming experience and repayment ability. Applications hinge on county FSA review and lack of satisfactory credit elsewhere, with GI Bill loans routed through banks and certified by local FSA committees. Availability of reasonably priced farms remains the main barrier to veteran resettlement.
