Farmers May Get Two
Types Of FHA Loans
By JENNINGS B. ROBINSON
FHA Supervisor
North Carolina farmers ran ob'
tain two type* of operating loans
from the Farmer! Home Admin
istration. Horace J. Isenhower.
North Carolina State Director,
said this week. 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

cannot exceed $10,000. 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.
While special livestock loans
:annot be used to refinance ex
iting debts the loans can include
Funds to pay for the annual de
preciation on chattels serving as
lecurity for their loans. In ad
i 1 1 ion, local businessmen who are
?reditors benefit from loan funds
lsed to purchase loan supplies
