Abstract: Excerpt from the Foreword: One important means by which farmers can increase their earnings and improve farm family living is through the use of credit. The Cooperative Farm Credit System is particularly interested in furnishing farmers the types of farm credit which will enable them to improve their farm incomes. For this reason, the Farm Credit Administration sponsored this study of the activities of production credit associations in financing farmers in the Southern Piedmont. It shows how such financing has enabled farmers to obtain the larger amounts of livestock and equipment needed to shift to livestock farming and to make related adjustments in their farm businesses.
