Loan deadline extended for Indiana farmers
The US Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) has extended to December 2, the deadline for farmers in Indiana to apply for farm emergency loans to cover losses, caused by this year’s drought and other natural disasters. The agency’s State Director, James E. Posey, said the extension has been ordered by Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland, for applications under drought or other emergency loaneligibility designations, that would expire before December 2, provided the designations are based on disasters that have occurred on or after July 1, 1976. The secretary’s action was taken under requirements of recent emergency loan legislation (PL 95-89) signed by President Carter. Among deadlines changed to December 2, is the previous September deadline to apply for farm loans, under the President’s special drought assistance program. Forty counties of Indiana are designated under that program. Kosciusko county is among the list of those designated as disaster areas, because of damages and losses caused by an abnormal accumulation of snow and ice, resulting from a series of blizzards and snowstorms from January 28, to February 4. Fanners lacking other sources of necessary credit may apply to FmHA for loans to offset losses or revive farming operations. Under the schedule of interest rates as revised by Pl 95-89, loans are made at a rate of three per cent on the first $250,000 borrowed against actual loss, five per cent for additional

amounts offsetting actual loss, and eight per cent for loans not based on loss, but needed to continue farming or make major adjustments in farm operations. Mr. Posey said extension of earlier deadlines will give farmers, whose crop returns are determined late in the year, a better opportunity to assess their losses and credit needs, and enable FmHA to speed completion of work on applications now pending, that need immediate processing. FmHA emergency loan applications are received at Farmers Home Administration county offices. They are usually located in county seat towns and are listed in telephone directories under US Government. Milford driver in auto accident A Milford driver, Alejandra Hernandez, 32, was involved in an auto accident at the intersection of county road 1350 N and SR 19, southeast of Nappanee last Friday afternoon.
