FmHA Solutions Sought
KNOXVILLE, ILL.—A
grassroots initiative to help
Farmers Home Administra
tion borrowers stay in
business for the 1963 crop
year has been announced by
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
John R. Block.
Block has ordered every
FmHA County Supervisor to
meet personally with local
bankers, Production Credit
Association Officials, and
other private lenders to
discuss credit needs %nd to
work out local solutions.
“The emphasis is on solu
tions,” Block said. “Those
solutions have to be found on
the grassroots level. Discus
sions between lenders and
myself on a national level will
accomplish little unless we
are assured that our efforts
and policies are instituted in
every local community.
That’s why I expect every
FmHA County Supervisor to
have met with local lenders
by the end of October.”
Block recently met with the
American Bankers Associa
tion, the Independent Bankers
Association of America, and
the Farm Credit System to
discuss the successful efforts
achieved in 1982 through
working together. “We plan to
build on those efforts to meet
credit needs of 1963.” Block
said.
He said those efforts will
assure borrowers that their
loan requests will be con
sidered, even though they
have not been able to repay
their loans because of cir
cumstances beyond their con
trol. “The criteria we will
generally follow is that they
have made good faith efforts
to repay, that they practiced
good management, and that
they properly maintained pro
perty used to secure loans.”
Persons meeting this
criteria who can secure ex
isting FmHA and other loans,
Woodstove Injuries Studied
WASHINGTON, D.C.-
Americans in record numbers
are turning to wood stoves as
an alternative heating source
in the home, but injuries suf
fered while cutting firewood
with chain saws seem to be
keeping pace.
According to the U.S. Con
sumer Product Safety Com
mission, some 123,000 chain
saw injuries occurred last
year that required treatment
in hospital emergency rooms
or physicians’ offices.
A two-month CPSC study of
injuries treated in emergency
rooms across the country
showed that one-fourth of the
injuries were associated with
chain saw kickback.
Kickback is the sudden and
potentially violent rearward
and/or upward movement of
the chain and that can be
caused by interference with
the movement of the chain
and that can propel the
moving saw chain into con
tact with the operator. Other
injuries stemmed from a
variety of hazard patterns
such as loss of control or
balance while using the saw,
skidding and bouncing of the
saw, and follow through after
the cut.
The agency offered the
following recommendations
to minimize accidents when
using the chain saw:
* Always operate the saw
with both hands gripping the
machine.
* Avoid situations that can
lead to chain saw kickback.
Don’t touch the tip of the bar
to any object while using the
chain saw. Hold the saw with
both hands, and refer to the
owner’s manual for the pro
per grip, especially for the
forward handle.
* Start all cuts at full throt
tle and cut at top speed until
the cut is complete. Keep your
body clear of the natural path
the saw will take after com
pletion of the cut. Keep the
chain sharpened and under
proper tension at all times.
' * If necessary, adjust the
throttle speed so that the saw
chain does not move when the
engine idles. If adjustment
does not give this result, the
saw should not be used until it
has been repaired.
* Carry the saw carefully
with the engine stopped, guide
bar and chain pointed behind
you, and the muffler away
from the body.
* Recent advances in the
design of chain saws have led
to the development of saw
chains that substantially
plus any new loans, probably
can be continued if the
planned year income is suffi
cient to make current loan
payments, Block said. Per
sons in this category could in
clude those who have been
delinquent one or more years
on FmHA and other loans, or
have had other problems such
as production losses due to
difficulties that could be cor
rected through adequate plan
ning and supervision.
Persons who cannot meet
those requirements, but have
similar delinquency histories
and perhaps other manage
ment or technical skill pro
blems, might qualify for a
new loan if the loan and in
terest could be repaid from
the 1983 year’s income.
“Let me emphasize that
every loan application will be
considered on its individual
merits,” Block said. “We will
continue to deal on a case-by
case basis to ensure that each
one receives the attention it
requires.”
Farmers Home Held offices
have been instructed to begin
reviewing loan cases for 1983
as soon as possible. The agen
cy will continue to offer defer
rals, rescheduling and
reamortization where neces
sary to assist borrowers.
Services of the North
Carolina agency are
delivered through a system of
88 county offices, 11 district
offices, and the Raleigh State
Office. (Its loan services, like
all programs and services of
the USDA, are available to
everyone without regard to
race, sex, religion, national
origin, marital status, or han
dicapped condition.) The
location and phone number of
the local office serving each
county is listed in the
telephone directory under
U.S. Government, Depart
ment of Agriculture.
reduce the magnitude of
chain saw kickback. CPSC
recommends that you consult
your dealer to determine if
your saw is equipped with the
best available chain designed
to reduce kickback, and that
you replace your saw chain
with one of these new
technology saw chains.
