LVNB Holds Beef Roast For Customers These farm women and children enjoy a desert of ice cream after finishing a meal of roast beef sandwhich, corn on the cob, and macaroni salad or coleslaw at the Lebanon Valley National Bank Beef Roast, held at Green Dragon Farmers Market last week. The bank held the picnic-style event for their customers and prospective customers. More than 300 farmers and agri-business people were in attendance. The beef was prepared by Fred Frey, an Angus cattle breeder from Quarryville. Albert B. Murry, president and C.E.O. of LVNB addressed the crowd, announcing the upcoming opening of their 16th branch in Elizabethtown on August 20. Murry also said that LVNB is committed to agri cultural lending and will continue to be. To illustrate that committment, Mike Firestine, senior agriculture lending officer, told the crowd about a new program the bank created for first-time farmers. Called “Farm Start,” the program is designed to give the young far mer a break when he really needs it, such as for crops needs, livestock or farm machin ery. Under the program, the young farmer will receive an interest rate of 'A percent below the lowest rate offered for agricultural lending. The program also allows a 6-month defer ment on payment of loan principal on a loan for more than five years.
