While low commodity prices,

Supreme and has a production
record of 22,134 lbs. of milk, testing
3.4% butterfat as a five-year-old.
Aria has also produced a daughter

the result of a GMS mating and is
helped to hold delinquencies and
foreclosures to their low level.
At the end, the FLB’s affiliated

(FLBAs) delinquency rate was 5.5
percent of the total number of

percent in 1981.
The FICB’s affiliated Production

showed a decline in delinquencies
during the last quarter of 1982 from
the same period in 1981, from 4.9
percent of total loan numbers to 4.7
percent. Foreclosure sales for 1982
involved 52 FLB loans and 33 PCA
