SOIL CONSERVATION 
LOANS

• 
• The Farm Security Administration (Re¬ 
gion No. 2) has announced a new type of loan

the 1939 AAA Soil Conservation program 
because of a lack of funds to buy SEEDS and 
other materials to carry out soil building 
practices. 
• The amount of such a loan may not exceed 
60% of the approximate AAA payment for 
compliance with the 1939 program, which 
payment is to be assigned to the F.S.A. as 
security for the loan. 
• Soil conservation loans to co-operate in the 
AAA program will be made only to farmers 
who meet the following qualifications: 
Eligibility Requirements

be unable to partidpate in the program 
because of inability to finance the pur¬

necessary to carry out soil building 
practices.

mittee recommend from the standpoint of 
character and integrity.
