SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act of 1972 (Pub. L. 92–
419, CONACT), as amended, authorizes
FSA’s Guaranteed Loan Program. The
program provides lenders with a
guarantee of up to 95 percent of
principal and interest on the loan. The
FSA guarantee permits lenders to make
agricultural credit available to farmers
who would be unable to obtain
sufficient credit to fund their farming
operations without the guarantee.
Pursuant to section 351 of the CONACT
(7 U.S.C. 1999) FSA also subsidizes 4
percent of the interest rate on
guaranteed loans to qualifying
borrowers under its Interest Assistance
Program. Interest assistance is subject to
additional eligibility criteria beyond
that required for the initial guarantee.
