C. 41-6tc 4834 FHA Loans Made In State Farmers in all parts of South Carolina are turning to their local Farmers Home Administration county offices for credit that will help take up better farm practices and make adjustments from cash- crop farming to diversified sys tems, R. Frank Kolb, the agency’s State Director, said recently. Farmers who have depended al most wholly on cash crops in re cent years are the ones’ most in need of farming adjustments, he said. They find they can set up a sound system of farming by switching to diversified produc tion on their farms. Many are looking for credit necessary to put in livestock enterprises to go along with their crops and are ex pecting to develop good pastures for their livestock. This type of adjustment usually takes a few years for completion. Many operators of cash-crop farms say they are held back from making the adjustments because of costs involved. If these costs cannot be handled by other local private or cooperative credit, and if the proposed farming systems are sound, the Farmers Home Ad ministration has funds for produc tion or adjustment loans. In addition, many farmers need ing loans for only a year, or emergency loans in designated areas, are finding the credit they need at the Farmers, Home Ad ministration county offices. Long term loans for purchasing or de veloping family-type farms are al so available, either as direct or insured farm ownership loans. A special program of loans to stockmen hard hit by drought con dition is also administrated by the agency. These loans are to help farmers remain in normal produc tion of cattle and sheep. No matter what type of credit is sought, Farmers Home Admini stration cannot approve applica tions from farmers whose credit needs can be handled by private or cooperative lenders. In eight months following June 30, 1953, production or adjustment loans have been made to 4,004 farmers in South Carolina, Mr. Kalb said. During that period, the agency has made 201 farm ownership or improvement loans and 629 emergency loans to South Carolina farmers. These 4,834 loans totalled $5,887,110.
