Two important things
when borrowing money
You need a sharp pencil plus the specialized financial ad vie#
of Farm Credit to determine how your financial needs can
best be served. Farm production must be maintained, even
Increased if possible. Providing the financing to insure this is
Farm Credit’s job. Farm Credit loansare available nowforany
sound farm need. And, at realistic rates. Farm !
Credit interest is based on the unpaid balance
of the loan. That saves you money. JGjjS, P
