Aim Of Program Is To Enable
Greater Number Of
Growers To Own The
Farms They Work
Farm tenants who failed to get
loans from the Farm Security |
Administration to buy farms during
the past fiscal year may be
able to get loans this year according
to W. M. Ginn, County
FSA Supervisor at Wilmington.
Congress appropriates money
for tenant-purchase loans by nscal
years and the new fiscal year
started July 1.
Ginn further suggests that
many applicants may find they
1 are eligible for a Rural Rehabill- <

, ministration makes Rural Rehabi- j
| litation loans?repayable in 1 to ]
5 years?to farmers who need ]
credit to buy woirk stock, farm- f
iqg equipment and other things l
necessary to get in shape to do
good farming. Tenants with satis- (
I factory written leases as well as j
II owners can get these loans. With '
i the loan FSA Supervisors give c
[ j full assistance in working out a
11 sound farm plan. This type of
.: loan gives the tenant a chance i
