FmHA Business Financing 1 . North Carolina businesses and industries have a new source of financing, according to James T. Johnson, State Director for Fanners Home Administration. Over 60 businesses and industries in North Carolina have borrowed some S4O million under the program to construct new plants, to expand and modernize exist ing businesses, and to enlarge operations through working capital loans. Some 4,500 jobs have been created or saved by these loans. The purpose of the pro gram, Johnson explained, is to create and maintain em ployment and improve the economic climate of rural areas. In this case, a rural area is a place of 50,000 population or less. Under the program, busi nessmen obtain loans from lenders such as banks and savings and loan associations, and the loans are then guaranteed by FmHA up to 90 percent. These lenders play a key role making and servicing quality loans that produce permanent jobs for North Carolina people. Some of the projects financed to date, Johnson said, include a multi-million dollar poultry processing plant, two new meat process- I JH Bi I JjL H A meeting of Yancey County beef cattle producers will take place Thursday night, Jane 17, 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse.

AO cattlemen and the general public are invited to attend. *« DAIRY F ARMERS AND CONSUMERS A Declaration Os Inter-Dependence By the year 2000, the present world population of 3.9 billion people will have grown to nearly 7 billion. Food production, according to United Nations studies, will have to grow by an average of almost 4% a year if all those people are to be fed. Some economists even suggest the frightening prospect that America will be forced to decide who will be fed and who will not be fed in the year 2000. For a number qf years, world food production was more than keeping up with Improving Economic Climate: ing packing plants, a 120-bed nursing home, and several manufacturers of farm machi nery, textile equipment, auto motive products, food pro ducts, as well as small businesses such as super markets, restaurants, and marinas. Almost any type of busi ness or industry is eligible and funds may be used for construction, conversion, en largement, repairs, purchase of land, machinery and equipment, for working capital and for restructuring debts under Certain condition's. Funds can also be included for interest during construction, fees for lender’s charges, costs of feasibility studies, and similar costs. Maximum maturities may be up to 30 years on land and buildings; up to 15 years on machinery and equipment; and up to 7 years on working capital. The actual terms are set by the lender. Interest rates may be fixed or variable and are negotiated between the lender and the borrower. Farmers Home Administration does not set a maximum rate. Equity must be provided in such amounts .as to provide reasonable assurance of a successful project but in all cases a minimum of ten percent. ' There is no limit on the amount of dollars that can be borrowed. The largest loan td date in North Carolina has been $15,250,000 and the smallest $35,000. According to State Direc tor Johnson, the program has many benefits for lenders. Only the unguaranteed por tion applies toward a bank’s lending limits. The lender may also sell off to the holder a part or all of the guaranteed portion of the loan, which THE YANCEY JOURNAL BOX 667 Burnsville.

BLEDSOE EXTENSION CHAIRMAN our population growth. In the last several years, however, per capita food production has dropped back to the level of almost 15 years ago. Less than 5% of our American population capacity for milk and dairy products is a frightening example of how rapidly our resources are shrinking. There were almost 2 million families milking cows in 1959, now there are only 275,000. Economists are concerned that we may be on the edge of permanent domestic milk shortage that might make us dangerously dependent on foreign producers. During this, our bicentennial year, it is important for us to reflect on the efforts of our fellow Americans who help keep our country self-sufficient. In this June Dairy Month, let all of us as consumers remember the efforts of our friends and neighbors in the dairy indus try who help keep America strong. ** LOOSE LEAF BURLEY MARKETING PROSPECT I frequently have ques tions about what is happening on the idea of loose leaf Burley marketing. Last month representatives from the Uni versities of Kentucky, Ohio State, Tennessee and N.C. State University met in portion, including principal and interest, would be 100% guaranteed by FmHA. The lender would collect a servic ing fee from the holder. The lender may also participate with other lenders in the unguaranteed portion. Sav ings and loan associations that are short on commercial loan funds may sell off the guaranteed portion or may purchase the guaranteed por tion from a bank or another savings and loan association under a classification as government securities. FmHA Makes Loans For Youth Projects The Farmers Home Ad ministration can make loans to individual rural residents, including Town of Burnsville, who are not less than ten years old, but under twenty one years of age, to establish and operate a farm or nonfarm project of modest size. Each project must be part of an organized and super vised program of work. The project must be planned with the help of the organization supervisor; example, FHA, FHA for girls, Boy Scouts, and operated under his guidance, must give indica tion that the project will produce sufficient income to repay the loan and must provide practical business experience. To be eligible for this loan the applicant must be a citizen of the United States, ten years old but under twenty-one years of age, unable to get a loan from other sources and conduct a modest income producing project. Also must have a good character, and be capable of planning, manag ing, and operating the project with the assistance of an advisor. The advisor must recommend the project. Loans can be made to finance nearly any kind of income producing project, including crop production, livestock production, repair shops, and woodworking shops.

Progress is being made. Kentucky has done some work by haying loose leaf sales on experimen tal basis for 2 years. Tennes see is making plans to have an experimental market, poss ibly this year, to have a loose leaf sale. It is necessary to get an experimental permit from Washington because under present law hurley must be tied in hands for federal grading and it must be graded to be eligible for price support. Both bale and sheet methods are being tried. Sheets are similar to those! being used by flue curedl growers and require 2 men for! handling. Bales weigh about; 75 lbs. and made by pressing tobacco with a jack or hydraulic system. One man can. handle a bale. There are many advantages and disad vantages of one over the other. Time and motion studies show that either system saves 30 to 40% of a farmers time in stripping and preparing for market when compared to conventional handling. Tobacco companies say they can use either but not both systems. Personnel from all states are cautiously optimistic that loose leaf designated sales may become a reality in the next few years. Meanwhile, we will have to tie hands. We have made a good start with this program, stated Johnson, yet we know that there are hundreds of existing businesses and in dustries in North Carolina who may need these funds but are not aware of their availability. More information may be obtained from the Farmers Home Administration Office in Burnsville, N.C., telephone number 704-682-2319. Appli cants may apply to FmHA or to any bank or savings ang( loan association in thair respective area. B‘/a percent with flexible repayment terms. The loan is secured by a Promissory Note signed by the borrower and a lien on products produced for sale an on chattel property purchased or caused to be produced by loan funds. Loans greater than $2500.00 must be co signed. Application forms are available at the local FmHA Office in Burnsville or you may call 682-2319 for more information. *230,000 ARC Grant Approved Senator Robert B. Morgan and Congressman Roy A. Taylor today announced the approval of a jjrant of $230,000 by the Appalachian Regional Commission to the Mountain Area Health Educa tion Foundation, Inc.
