Farm Bureau backs amendment
"When North Carolina

to vote on a constitutional
amendment that will have a
great impact on the future of
agriculture in this state," ac
cording to the president of the
North Carolina Farm Bureau
Federation.

Sledge said a favorable vote in
important to the future of
farmers in the state. He
pointed out that the amend
ment will give eligible farmers
the opportunity to secure long
term loans for capital im
provements on their opera
tions. Sledge said the loans
would be properly secured and
guaranteed on a First come.
First serve basis with no liabili
ty on the part of the taxpayer.
Sledge said consumers
would also benefit from the
farm finance amendment.
"Helping North Carolina
agriculture stay productive
and efficient is the best way to
guarantee economical food
prices."
If approved, the amend
ment will allow the state to set
up the North Carolina
Agricultural Financing Agen
cy to issue tax-exempt revenue
bonds which will be sold to in
vestors. The Agency will make
the money available through
established lending institutions
which will then make loans to
farmers and farmer-owned
cooperatives for capital pro
jects. This can include land,
buildings, structures and other
improvements which are used
for production, processing,
marketing and distribution of
any agricultural products.
Sledge pointed out that by
permitting tax-exempt revenue
bonds, the constitutional
amendment would extend to
agriculture that which is
already available to industrial,
manufacturing and pollution
control facilities, heidth care
facilities and housing, and
public power facilities.
Sledge emphasized that
none of the money from these
funds could be used for
operating capital. He said in
terest received on loans to
farmers would be used to pay
back the bonds, and taxpayers
in no event would be liable for
the bonds.
