West and Southwest Farmers Get $44 Million Loan Funds
The House agriculture committee unanimously approved a bill to make $44 million in revolving loan funds available to western and southwestern farmers suffering storm losses. Proposed by Rep. Walter K. Granger, the measure would provide emergency credit for losses in livestock, crops, and trees from severe winter weather and relax certain program restrictions. The fund is managed via the regional Agricultural Credit Corporation under the Farm Credit Administration, with plans to transfer its functions to the Agriculture Department.
