Change Made In FHA Loan Program The recent change in the farm housing loan program of the Farmers Home Administration is explained by Donald W. Nor man, the agency's county, super visor for Perquimans, Chowan, Pasquotank, Camden and Curri tuck Counties. The recent change is in the definition of a farm. The farm should be in agricultural pro- I rliift.inn tinri vAnrlv -will tirnd,nce based on 1944 prices. Previous ly the d'ifinitlon had been that a farm would have to be large enough to produce a substantial portion "of the operator's total cash income. , . e Mr. Norman explained that under this new definition of a farm it would enable his agency to help many more ' owners ob- tain the necessary housing. A larm nousing ,ioan can, oe, rnade up to the appraised Value of the farm to be improved. These1 loans may, tie repaid over a period of 33 years, How ever, each borrower ' can select the number of years, up to 33, that he wants to repay the loan. interest is cnargea at, we w:with ao adjustment for location of 4 percent per year on the un paid principal balance. ; V i The farm housing loan can be made for construction or repair of farm homes , and '. essential farm service buildings such as. machinery sheds, livestock barns and grain storage facilities. ..... ; Farm, owners interested in the farm housing loan program can obtain, additional information at the FHA1 office located in the bus station building in Hertford.
