Farm Loans Funds New Ths shortage of farm operating loan funds in North Carolina, evident for several weeks, has been partially relieved by additional loans funds that have been made available to assist farm operators in production of 1975 crops and in livestock operations, James T. Johnson, State Director of USDA's Farmers Home Administration, announced. The additional money is in two categories - an increase from funds made available through Washington, and a release of loan funds originally scheduled for use after April 1. The combined total for North Carolina amounts to $5,980,000. The FmHA director warned, however, that although "receiving these additional loan funds has assisted us a great deal in meeting critical needs of our borrowers for the 1975 crop year. The value of assets of U.S. farmers as of last January totaled $460 billion, up 15 per cent from a year earlier. this amount will not be adequate to fulfill all remaining loan requests for the year." He urged anyone in need of this type of financial assistance to contact their local FmHA office. "Operators are eligible for loans to be ured for purchase of feed, seed, fertilizer and essential machinery, equipment and livestock," Johnson stated. Graham A.
