A Conservation Loan program designed to give farm owners and related business operators access to credit to implement conservation practices that will conserve natural resources has been announced.
In making the announcement, Ag Secretary Vilsack said the loan program will provide farmers with assistance for up-front costs. “In return, these producers will help to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality and promote sustainable and organic agricultural practices,” said Vilsack.
Direct Conservation Loans are available at local Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices with loans up to $300,000. Guaranteed CLs, up to $1,112,000 are available from lenders working with FSA.
