Resettlement
Proyides Aid for
the Farmers
Private Capital Through Banks Also
Being Used in the Move for
Farm Rehabilitation.
Nebraska bankers are joinin
forces with the government to help
farmers get back on their feet, Jean
Spangler, RA supervisor for Cass
county, reports.
"Faced by a demand for standard
rehabilitation loans far in excess of j
funds available for that purpose. Re-j
settlement employees in Nebraska are j
helping many farmers rehabilitate!
themselves through private credit, or i
even without credit." he commented. J
Farm debt adjustment aid avail
able . without cost through this
agency helps to bring the farmer's
debts in line with his ability to pay.
Resettlement supervisors are help
ing farmers work out written, bud
geted farm and home management
plans that show how much can be
paid on old debts after minimum fam
ily living costs have been provided
for.
Private bankers realize that sound
farming plans are just as important
as credit. They are often willing to
make small loans to enable farmers to
put their farms on a paying basis,
on the strength of these written
plans and the technical guidance
available through the local Resettle
ment office.
A few farmers who ask for rehab
loans find that all they need is debt
adiustment and advice in sound, up-
to-date farm methods. They are glad!0
to get back on a paying basis with
out borrowing more money.
"The fact that this service aids
creditors as well as debtors is borne
out by reports that just about as
many creditors as debtors over the
nation have applied for voluntary
farm debt conciliation assistance,
Mr. Spangler stated.
Farm debt adjustment aid avail
able through the Resettlement office
has helped debtors and creditors
reach voluntary agreements in 1.967
cases in this state. Debts have been
reduced from a total of $S, 431, 436 to
$5,717,257, a reduction of $2,714.
