difference is that the farmer
must show a 20 per cent loss to
qualify for an FmHA loan. He
must only show that he has
suffered a loss to qualify for
the SB A loan.
Both programs, however,
require that the farmer show
repayment ability.
Riddick speculated that the
FmHA program has been
more popular because the
organisation has a local office.
SBA maintains only one office
in North Carolina, in
Charlotte.
A stipulation of the SBA loan
is that up to GO per cent can be
used to pay back debts, but the
other SO per cent must be used
to finance production ex
penses for the 1981 crop year,
Riddicksaid.
SBA loan application forms
are available at the ASCS
office, and ASCS will figure
losses for the individual
farmer who wishes to apply,
said Riddick.
Another ASCS disaster
program paid out some $85,000
to county farmers to make up
for losses suffered in corn
crops during 1*0.
Compensation was paid for
production below CO per cent
of established farm yield, and
about <5 farmers received
payment, Riddick said.
