The Minister Elmer Buchanan explained that the program will allow farm business to borrow up to $500,000 from private individ- merchandising, bookkeeping and computer operation. Local entrepreneurs and retailers have spoken to the group to share their information. Members of the class include a cross-section of men and women aged 25-55.
