Farm Loan Program 1
Is Liberalized ‘
Drying and storage facilities for, j grains, soybeans, and other storable crops are as necessary j for many modern farms as specialized planting and har- , vesting equipment. Recent | changes in the loan program for , farm storage and drying equipment have been announced.
A lower loan interest rate and an increase in the maximum loan amount are among the changes, as well as liberalization of other provisions.
H. S. Barksdale said many farmers will be using the new setaside farm programs to tailor crop production to meet market demand. “Producers are changing their crop planning from the patterns they have been locked into for so many years under restrictive farm programs. The jjew set-aside erograiji lets_them concentrate their production, if they choose, on crops they can grow most efficiently.”
Modern on-farm and commercial storage and handling facilities are needed which will promote efficient marketing and provide for an orderly flow of goods from producer to consumer.
Through use of both on-farm and commercial storage, farmers are better able to avoid a harvesttime glut, make more effective use of transportation facilities, and spread their marketing over a longer period.
Under the farm storage and drying equipment loan program, eligible farmers can obtain Commodity Credit Corporation loans through their local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Office to buy or build on-farm storage and drying facilities and to buy essential operating equipment.
Loans can be made for storage needs based on two-year production of a producer’s crop which are eligible for pricesupport. In Rappahannock County these may include barley, oats, grain sorghum, corn, rye, soybeans, and wheat.
