3 CREDIT
The needs of your family are never-ending. Equipment.
Home appliances. Feed and seed and fertilizer. Doctor bills.
College educations. Trucks and tractors. Remodeling the
house.
The people at Farm Credit understand farm families and
their special needs. After all, they've been working with
families like yours for years. They work with you to help you
reach your goals. And it's good to know that they believe in
constructive credit . . . the kind that helps you get further
ahead instead of deeper in debt.
So the two of you don't have to go it alone. Not when
there's a Farm Credit man who's a real professional when it
comes to helping farm families like yours.
