Farm Housing Loan Program Is Expanded An expanded farm housing loan program designed to speed up farm building construction and improvement as well as act as an additional "anti-recession" measure was announced by Wil liam L. Owens, county supervi or of the Farmers Home Admin istration in Nebraska City. His office serves Cass, Otoe and Ne maha counties. Now an owner of a farm in ag ricultural production and on which the operator plans to pro duce at least $400 worth of farm commodities for sale or home use may qualify for the 4 per cent long-term housing loan pro vided he meets other standard eligibility requirements. Formerly, an eligible applic ant had to own a farm that pro duced a more substantial part of the operator's cash income. Borrowers may use loan funds to build, improve, or repair farm houses or other essential farm buildings and to provide water for farmstead and household use. Owens said that in addition to fi nancing major construction, the loan funds can help meet many other needs for farm and farm home modernization such as add ing bathrooms, utility rooms, better kitchens and many other improvements to the home as well as to farm service buildings. While tenants and farm labor ers are not eligible, the owner may borrow to do construction work or make improvements for them. The loans are made to farm , owners who need credit to fi-j nance building improvements or repairs but find that adequate credit is not available for them through banks or other regular credit channels. The interest rate is 4 per cent and loans may be ' amortized over periods up to 33 years.
