USDA expands storage loan program

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has expanded the Farm Storage and Facility Loan program.

The expansion includes 22 new categories of eligible equipment for fruit and vegetable producers, and makes the process easier for farmers and ranchers to receive low-interest financing.

Security requirements for loans between $50,000 and $100,000 have been eased and no longer require a promissory note or liens.
