Farm Credit Administration says costs are borne by lenders, not taxpayers, with 1937 loans totaling 449.6 million via regional banks and local associations. Brennan notes borrowers pay about 5 percent yearly, 2.5 percent six months, and banks earned net profits while sending substantial franchise taxes to the Treasury. Loans cover production, marketing, and processing, with flexible terms and no depositor risks.
