National Farm Credit Governor Donald E. Wilkinson outlined the ex pected massive increase in farm credit demand in the future. Already larger than the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the Farm Credit System, with loans out standing of 40 billion dollars, expects to reach 100 billion dollars in 10 years, ac cording to Wilkinson. The York Association which serves farmers in Adams, Cumberland, Fulton, Franklin, Perry, and York County presently has loans outstanding totaling $64,775,500. It’s expected that farm credit demands locally will keep pace with the sharp rise expected nationally. The ever increasing costs of farm inputs and rising land values are the main forces behind the increased demand for farm credit. C.J. WONSIDLER BROS.
