Farmers With Regular Off-Farm Jobs
May Qualify For Major Home Loans
WASHINGTON. DC- Family
type farmers with regular off-farm
employment may obtain farm op
erating and development loans
from the Farmers Home Admini
stration after October 1, if they are '
otherwise eligible, the U. S De
partment of Agriculture announced
last week
Previously, except in rural de
velopment counties, a fanner has
had to spend most of his time <
farming in order to qualify for j
such loans But experience gained
in rural development counties has
shown say USDA officials, that
many farmers regularly employed
off the farm can profitably use
Farmers Home credit to increase
the farm portion of their total in
come
Officials point out on the o
ther hand that the regulations
have prevented some farmers
from obtaining the maximum
income from their farms, and
from taking advantage of op
portunities for industrial and
other off-farm employment.
Typical of the farm families that
are making good use of Farmers
Home credit are Mr. and Mrs. Roa
ehef Martin, of Sumter. S. C. This
colored farm family first obtained
s loan from the agency in lfHfi to
buy a 110-acre farm after nine

ses. fencing, and farm equipment,
the Martins have raised their gross
receipts very close to $7,000 annu
ally. This has enabled them to dou
ble up on their payments some
years and get well ahead with their
notes.
The next step of this family of
nine is to acquire more land so
• hat the oldest son may become a
full partner. On the additional
acres they plan to develop more im
proved pastures and raise more
livestock They estimate that they
can increase their gross income to
SII,OOO a year
In developing and carrying out
their plans, the Martins have hao
some technical agricultural and
money management assistance from
Assistant Farmers Home County
Supervisor Ernest L. Shuler. This
is a regular part of the agency s
lending program.
In the future, farmers holding
down regular off-farm jobs may
also qualify for the kinds of op
erating and development loans the
Martins and thousands of other
farmers have received.
Other than not having to spend
most of one’s time farming to qua
lify for a loan, the eligibility re
quirements of Farmers Home re
main unchanged. Applicants must
have sufficient farm experience,
need credit, and be unable to ob
tain adequate financial assistance
from other sources.
Credit will he extended only
to operators of family-sized
farms nr smaller No loan will

farm family to have a reason

The interest rate is five percent,
