The credit is available immediately and can be used to finance current farm and j living expenses as well as the production of next year's crops. The two kinds of operating loans are special livestock loans and regular production and subsist ence loans. The production and subsistence loans are made only to operators of family-type farms. The livestock loans are made to operators of family-type farm! and other farmers and ranchers as well. All of the loans are made only to farmers who are unable to obtain the credit from other sources. The regular production and subsistence loans help small farmers to improve their farming operations. These loans may be made to buy farm and home equipment, feed, seed, lime and fertilizer; and to pay other farm operating and family living ex penses. There is a statuatory limit of $7,000 on each production and subsistence loan and the total outstanding debt for these loans ^ SIEILER HAS IT ? ONLY DEALER HAS IT ?

Repay ment! are based on the income to be received each year after reasonable expenses are met. In no tatc may the loan run (or more than seven years. When the main purpose of the production and subsistence loan is to improve the farmer's oper ations, a limited amount of funds may be included to refinance debts secured by liens on live stock and farm equipment. Special livestock loans are made to producers and feeders of cattle, sheep, and goats, except commercial feed lot operators. These loans are made to meet us ual expenses necessary to* suc cessful livestock operations, such as the purchase or production of feed, and replacing, hiring, or re pairing farm machinery and equipment. Livestock loans are not made to expand operations or to pay existing debts, except incidental current bills. Livestock loans are made for periods up to three years. Other creditors are not asked to subor iinate their lleni. but are axpect pd to stand by and to agree that I reasonable part of the appli cant's normal Income from live itock can be used in repaying the loan. There is no limit set by law on the amount that a farmer or rancher can borrow under the special livestock loan program, rhe amount that can be borrowed jnder this program is determined t>y the farmer's needs and his ability to repay. No loan is made unless it appears that an appli cant has reasonable prospects for rnccess. For each loan made, the Gov ernment obtains the best security available including a first lien on >11 crops to be produced with the loan and on all livestock and fartn machinery purchased with the loan.
