Federal Farm Loan Law Aims to Aid Williams County Farmers
Preliminary work on the federal farm loan system is underway with a hearing in Fargo on September 1. The act will mobilize capital for farm ownership and development, offering loans up to half land value plus one-fifth of improvements, repayable over five to forty years at under six percent, with organized farm loan associations handling applications to twelve banks. The system promises broader credit for farmers while requiring strong farmer organization and private capital to back the twelve banks.
