Tenants Experiment Aims to Convert Renters Into Owners in Virginia
The Federal Farm Security Administration launched an experiment to convert farm tenants into owners in Virginia. Committees from seven counties trained on running the plan, with Scott County hosting a separate school. The Bankhead Jones act provides ten million dollars for this program, with Virginia’s share about 214 000 and 5 percent for admin costs. County groups will fund and supervise six farms per county, aiding tenants earning under 600 dollars yearly to purchase farms over forty years with careful planning and oversight.
