Delano said that some FraHA monies have reportedly been used to build municipal sewage plants and condominiums as part of federal low-income housing programs, and that the program murt be kept to its original purpose of helping farmers who cannot qualify for other financing. He added that Farm Bureau has asked Agriculture Secretary John Block to release 600 million dollars m FmHA discretionary funds, as authorized m the 1981 Farm Bill, to insure and guarantee loans to qualified borrowers. But along with such financing, Delano called for counseling, with regular reviews and revisions on loan qualifications and limits. “We do no favors in keeping unqualified farmers or ranchers in business, if by every management yardstick they should be doing something else,” he affirmed.
