Farm Loan Plan Aims To Ease Debts For Farmers
E J Bodman of the Farm Loan commission outlines a plan to reduce and refinance farmer debts. Loans fund working capital and refinance foreclosures, with up to 75 percent collateral on farm property and flexibility to use second mortgages or personal property as security. The program emphasizes collateralized, not personal loans, and a local Farm Loan association secretary-treasurer serves as the convenient correspondent for applications.
