Additional FHA Funds Made Available to Help Farmers Additional funds have been made available to eligible farmers who need money to carry out their farming operations. A $35,000,000 contingency fund provided by the 1961 Argiculltural Appropriations Act has just been' relased to the Farmers Home Ad ministration to meet the growing demand for credit. This move was taken by the De partment of Aiigculture in an ef fort to make certain, within the authorities and) funds available, that no qualified family-type farmer will be required to give up farming because of his inability to finance his 1961 operations. 1 Because of high operating costs and unfavorable margins, of pro fits many farmers have exhausted their regular sources of farm op erating credit. The amount of op erating loans made so far this year by the Farm Home Admin istration total ao percent higher than last years. The credit Agen cy’s biggest lending season lies Just ahead as farmers prepare to start their spring'peek* , Most of the applications so far this year are for loans to buy farm machinery and farm equipment. The Farmers Home Administra tion makes operating loans pri marily to help eligible farm fam ilies make improved use of their land and labor resources on fam ily-type farms and make needed changes in their farming systems. Most of the changes call for adopt ing better farming practices and improving the efficiency of their farming operations. Loans may also be made to qualified fanners who carry on smaller than fam ily-type operations. Operating loans help farmers pay for equipment, livestock, feed seed, fertilizer, tractor fuel and other farm and home operating needs including the refinancing of chattel debts. Loans are scheduled for repayment in accordance with the borrower’s ability to repay, over periods up to seven years. The interest rate is five percent. Further information on these loans may be obtained from the county offices of the Farmers Home Administration located at Trenton, N. C., in the Agricuture Building.
