Lancaster Farming. Saturday. September 28.1968—i
moves for three years (to Oc
tober 1, 1971) any stotutory ceil
ing on insured loans for rural
water and waste disposal sys
tems, community recreation pro
jects, family farm ownership,
soil conservation practices and
for conversion of farms to rec
reational uses. The act raises the
authorized ceiling on develop
ment grants for water and waste
disposal systems from $5O mil
lion to $lOO million a year, and
raises the celling on grants for
comprehensive plans for water
and waste disposal services from
$5 million to $l5 million a year.
The Farmers Home Adminis
tration will be authorized to fi
nance establishments such as
farm equipment, electrical appli
ance and auto repair shops, and
other farm-based services need
ed in rural areas.
Loans will be limited under
the law to $60,000, less any exist
ing indebtedness on the security,
for improvement and develop-
ment of real estate, payable over
periods up to 40 years at 8 per*
cent interest, and $38,000 for
equipment and other operating
expenses, payable over periods
of to 7 years at BV4 percent.
Prior to enactment of the new
law, the Farmers Home Admin
istration was authorized to help
low-income rural families estab
lish small nonagrlcultural enter
prises only through loans not ex
ceeding $3,800 under authority
delegated by the Office of Eco
nomic Opportunity.
“Through the new program of
nonfarm enterprise credit for
farmers,’’ Mr. Freeman said,
“many kinds of shops and serv
ices that farmers have the abil
ity to operate can be added to
the income-producing diversifica
tion of family farms.”
The new act’s provisions on
recreation authorize loans to
convert farm tracts wholly or
partially into recreation areas
such as fishing, boating, and
camping resorts, winter sports
areas and golf courses which
may be operated by farmers as
their means of livelihood or to
supplement their farm income.
The limits of $60,000 for real
estate development and $35,000
for operating expenses also ap
ply to loans for recreation en
terprises.
“Excellent opportunities exist
for building new commercial
out-door recreation activities on
land once used for farming. Ru
ral people should have the full
est opportunity to share in this
aspect of rural development,’’
the Secretary said.
