With FSA's Direct Farm Ownership Loans, "we keep America's agriculture growing."
Farm Ownership Loans offer up to 100 percent financing and are a valuable resource to help farmers and ranchers purchase or enlarge family farms, improve and expand current operations, increase agricultural productivity, and assist with land tenure to save farmland for future generations. With a maximum loan amount of $600,000 ($300,150 for Beginning Farmer Down Payment), all FSA Direct Farm Ownership Loans are financed and serviced by the Agency through
local Farm Loan Officers and Farm Loan Managers. The
funding comes from Congressional appropriations as part of the USDA budget.
But for the guy getting started Govt does want people farming and that's why they set up those type programs for the underdog and the big dreamers.
PM me if you have ?'s about it I'll tell you what I know. But best to call a loan agent at the local FSA office in your location.
