Agriculture minister announces increase in interest rates Agriculture Minister John Wise recently announced an increase in the interest rates charged by Farm Credit Corporation (FCC) on new loans approved after September 13, 1987. The new FCC rates reflect current com- mercial lending rates. Mr. Wise noted that FCC assumes a greater risk by lending to farmers who cannot get loans from com- mercial lenders, and it does so at a cost that is comparable to the rates charged by com- mercial lenders. The interest rated charged for five-year fixed interest term loans is now 12 per cent, compared with the earlier rate of 11.50 per cent. Loans under the Shared Risk Mor- tgage Program have increased to 11.75 per cent, up from 11.25 per cent, while 10 year fixed -term loans are now at 12.25 per cent, compared with the previous 11.75 per cent. Loans with terms of 15 or more years are now at 12.25 per cent, up from 12 per cent. FCC also offers the Commodity -based Loan (CBL) with an interest rate as low as Aar six per cent to its current borrowers who had a loan with the Corporation before February 26, 1986, and who are experiencing cash flow deficiencies. Under this program, the capital of the loan is linked to the variation in the price of one or two commodities produced on the farm. Qualifying borrowers can choose to fully or partially index their loan. Under the full indexation option, farmers pay an interest rate of six pet' cent. The new rate for the,partially-indexed option under the program is 9.125 per cent up from 8.875 per cent. The cap that limits the amount borrowers would pay if they opted out of the program has been raised ,to 14.25 per cent from 13.75 per cent: FCC is authorized to lend up to $400 -million under the Commodity -based Loan Program during .the 1987-88 fiscal year. Between April 1 and August 31, 541 borrowers had opted for a CBL and the Cor- poration had approved $93.4 million under this program. Appointed to Board of Ed Richard Rompf was appointed to the Huron County Board of Education recently. His ap- pointment is in response to the vacant seat left by Mary Anne Dempsey, who left the area.
