Amendmen s to Fa Amendments to the Farm Credit Act increasing the funds available for farm loans and n.ising the ceiling on loans to young farmers became law this week, according to R.E. McKin- ley, MP for Huron. Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan said the changes give the Farm Credit Corporation the flex- ibility and the funds to do a much better job for the Canadian agriculture industry. Most of the changes pertain to young farmers and are aimed at helping persons under 35 years of age to get into farming. "The former loan ceiling of $100, 000 was too low for young farmers. The new $150, 000 limit is more realistic for the costs faced today by young pers- ons establishing an adequate farm business, " Mr. Whelan said. Another change will allow young persons whose principal occupation is not farming to phase into farming over a period of up to five years. Previously, the corporation could only lend to those principally occupied in farming. Young farmers will also bene- fit from a new provision giving the FCC more discretion in equity requirements. The corpor- ation formerly could lend up to 90 per cent of the productive value of land, livestock and equipment to young borrowers who had demonstrated above- average efficiency. Now a young farmer who is a competent man- ager and shows satisfactory repay- ment ability could receive loans in excess of the 90 per cent level. An amendment which can benefit all farmers grants FCC authority to secure loans with other than first mortgages. Prev- iously FCC was required to secure every loan made under the Farm Credit Act by a first mortgage. "Second -mortgage financing will be a big help to many farm- ers, " Mr. Whelan said. "If a farmer has a mortgage with a favourable interest rate and repayment terms, he doesnt have to give it up to get addit- ional money for capital expansiot The Corporation can lend to him on a second or subsequent mort- gage." Another amendment increases the corporation's capital to $100 million from its former $66 million. That means the FCC can borrow up to $2.5 billion from the federal treasury, an increase of $850 million aver the former maximum. The Minister stressed the imp- ortance of adequate credit for the agriculture industry. "Inflation has hit hard at the things farmers need to produce Credit Act food --land, building materials, seed, fertilizer, animal feeds, machinery and fuel. We must make sure that money is avail- able to carry on farming enter- prises and to encourage young persons to take up farming, " Mr. Whelan said.
