Farmers Union Panel Discusses
Headaches Of Borrowing Money
A Farmers Union panel
meeting m Qurryville this week
said one of the most pressing
problems facing the family farm
today is the high cost of
borrowing money.
It is not always hard to get
backing to start a farming en
terprise, they maintained, but
farm prices and- profits are not
big enough to meet the high in
terest rates they must pay
conventional lending institutions.
What is needed, they say, is a
farm credit system which would
make low interest loans available

to farmers just as is now being
done for corporations through
Industrial Development
Authorities One veteran farmer
declared, “It is high time our
government extends the family
farmers some of the same kind of
consideration that is extended
large corporations and we intend
to work toward that goal.”
This was one of several
problems selected by the group
as “most critical” for family
farmers of Pennylvama The
other problems cited were high
property taxes and taxes m
of fast starts, that will produce
thicker, more uniform stands. The
special formulation of secondary
elements and micronutnents sup
plies the vitality needed for mid
season growth and for eaily, uni
form maturity that makes harvest
ing easier. All this adds up to more
profit for you.
Remember, it takes moie than
Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash
to increase corn yields and quality
. . . and Agnco puts what it takes
in TCP for Coin . . . the right bal
ance of secondary elements and
micronutnents. See us today for
the Agnco TCP for Corn formu
lated for the needs of your soil.
