Federal Farm Loan Plan Aims to Ease Farmer Credit
The federal farm loan plan in Washington considers issuing bonds at 6 percent to raise 50 to 60 million dollars for the Federal Land Bank of Houston, potentially unlocking 8 million or more for lenders and farmers. Court rulings supporting the federal farm loan act are seen as a major step, with funds expected to repay mortgages and reduce short-term high interest debt. President Gossett of the Houston bank argues longer term loans at 6 percent will ease credit strain for banks and farmers.
