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.
