Farm Finance: What Is a Sound System?

Extension Service and Agricultural Adjustment Administration

No 401224, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: This pamphlet has been especially prepared for use by discussion groups. Its purpose is to present, in brief form, some of the main facts about farm finance and some points of view on how the financing of certain needs can best be handled. The following questions are discussed: What do farm families borrow money for? How long do their loans run? Where does the money come from? How much do farmers' borrowings amount to? What is a sound system of farm finance? Cash or credit? Should farm land be bought on credit? Should farm families make budgets? What lending agencies are available? How long should loans run? Should debts be amortized? How much does credit cost? Should reserves be laid by in good years?
