Farm Credit Service To Improve
Farmers, who saw im
provements made in their credit
services in 1972, can expect still
greater advances in the coming
year
Such progress was indicated by
E. A Jaenke, Governor of the
Farm Credit Administration, the
agency which supervises
nationally the $lB billion farmer
owned Farm Credit System.
In his year-end report, Jaenke
called 1972 a significant year for
U S agriculture for it marked the
beginning of improved credit
programs for farmers and new
leading efforts of the Farm
Credit System to finance rural
development
“The results of these new
services are loans more closely
matched to farmers’ needs and a
small but significant start in
helping meet the farm com
munity’s financial needs,”
Jaenke stated.
In addition to expanded credit
services for farm operators, the
new programs include loans for
non-farm rural homes, loans to

open seas fishermen and to
cooperatives serving fishermen,
and loans to rural electric
cooperatives on a concurrent
basis with the Rural Elec
trification Administration.
The most significant improved
program, said Jaenke, was in
farm loans through Federal Land
Banks Past law limited Land
Banks to advancing only about
one-half of a farm’s market
value But the new law provides
flexibility in tailoring loans to
each farmer’s individual needs
and repayment capacity
Congress launched these new
and expanded efforts, Jaenke
said, with passage late last year
of new charter legislation for the
System Implementation of the
programs has been taking place
throughout the year
Under study throughout the
System now are methods m
which it could finance certain
businesses which perform
custom services for farmers,
such as custom harvesters, and
the extent to which it could
participate in financing rural
community needs through the
recently passed Rural
Development Act
Rural home loans under the
new Act can be made by both
Federal Land Banks and
Cattle Feeders

Production Credit Associations.
These organizations have made
home loans in the past but only
for farm homes. Now the loan
program is opened up to non
farmers to build, buy or remodel
homes in the countryside The
program has been activated by
the Banks and Associations in
varying stages since last sum
mer In that time, about 600 rural
home loans have been made with
advancements totaling $l2
million.
Under the Act, fishermen, as
basic food producers, become
eligible to borrow from PCAs and
cooperatives whose membership
is made up of fishermen are
eligible to borrow from the Banks
for Cooperatives The loan
program, which is just getting
underway, shows 44 loans to
