Direct loans are made to applicants by FSA and include both farm operating and farm ownership loans. Guaranteed loans also may be made for ownership or oper ating purposes, and may be made by any lending institution subject to federal or state super vision (banks, savings and loans, insurance companies, and units of the Farm Credit sys tem.) Typically, FSA guarantees 90 or 95 percent of a loan against any loss that might be incurred if the loan fails. Farm ownership loan funds may be used to purchase or enlarge a farm, purchase ease ments or rights of way needed in the farm’s operation, erect or improve buildings such as a dwelling or bam, promote soil and water conservation and development, and pay closing costs.

The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NAS DA), in a news release this week expressed its strong support for proposed legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, “the Plant Protection Act.” Although the news release didn’t detail the goals of the legis lation, nor any specific mechan isms for achieving those goals, it is assumed that the legislation was proposed as an alternative to recent efforts by the current administra tion of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement the Food Protection Act. The Food Protection Act was passed to repeal the old Delaney Clause which had a zero tolerance standard for pesticide residues in food. The zero tolerance standard was adopted when residue detection technology was such that it could not detect extremely small amounts of residue. After many years of improve ments in testing technology, sci ence is now capable of detecting residues or possible pesticide residues (residues arc (be chemical remains after the main chemical breaks down) that were there all along. It has been suggested that during the heyday of the Delaney Clause’s zero tolerance applica tion, there could have been much higher amounts of pesticide residues in food.
