USDA to make longer term farm storage facility loans

WASHINGTON - The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced it is changing the farm facility loan repayment period from the current five years up to maximum of eight years. The department feels that lengthening the repayment period and increasing the number of annual installments will help lessen the case nowproblems of farmers obtaining loans According to department spokesmen, a longer repayment period is needed because of recent changes in the program which (1) increased the maximum loan amount for $25,000 to $50,000, (2) allows storage needs to be based on two years' production rather than one, and (3) decreased fanners’

required downpayments from 30 per cent to 15 per cent of the cost of structures and equipment. The effect of thesechanges will be to substantially increase the size of the average loan. By increasing the number of installment payments, each installment payment will be smaller, thus allowing farmers more flexibility and lessening the possibility of delinquent or defaulted loans, according to the Department. The farm-facility loan program is administered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) through its county offices. From 1949 through 1976 the program loaned over $1 billion to assist farmers in building farm facilities with storage capacity of over 2.4 billion bushels.
