LOAN INFORMATION
The Farm Service Agency offers loans to help farmers and ranchers get the financing they need to start, expand, or maintain a family farm.
You are encouraged to reach out to your local FSA County Office Farm Loan Team and discuss all the possible financing options available
to you. FSA also publishes Fact Sheets outlining available Farm Loan Programs. They contain detailed information about loan limits,
eligibility, and the terms of each loan type. They are available for viewing on-line at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/news-room/fact-sheets/index.
This application will allow submission for MOST loan types. Page 12 contains a checklist of the additional items needed for a complete
application. A brief description of the loan types can be found below:

PART J - NOTIFICATIONS, DISCLOSURES & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
1. SPECIAL PROGRAM INFORMATION:
Certain FSA programs are, by law, designed to reach targeted applicants. If you are interested in any of the programs described here, or
have questions about these programs and whether you may qualify for a specific program, the FSA office processing your application will
help you.
A. SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED APPLICANTS: A portion of FSA farm ownership, operating, and conservation loan funds are, by law,
targeted to applicants who have been subjected to racial, ethnic or gender prejudice because of their identity as a member of a group,
without regard to individual qualities. Under the applicable law, groups meeting this condition are: American Indians/Alaskan Natives,
Asians, Blacks or African Americans, Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders, Hispanics and women. In addition, FSA has a down
payment program, which receives special funding.
B. BEGINNING FARMER ASSISTANCE: FSA has the authority to assist beginning farmers through the farm ownership, operating, and
conservation loan programs. A portion of FSA farm ownership, operating, and conservation loan funds are, by law, targeted to
beginning farmers. In addition, FSA has a down payment program, which receives special funding. In some states, FSA has
agreements with State beginning farmer programs to help meet the credit needs of beginning farmers.
C. LIMITED RESOURCE LOANS: Limited resource farm ownership and operating loans are available to qualified applicants. This
program provides loans at reduced interest rates to low-income farmers whose operations and resources are so limited that they
cannot pay the regular rates for FSA loans. The program is also intended to provide beginning farmers the opportunity to start a
successful farming operation.
2. RIGHTS AND POLICIES:
A. RIGHT TO FINANCIAL PRIVACY ACT OF 1978 (Public Law 95-630): FSA has a right of access to financial records held by financial
institutions in connection with providing assistance to you as well as collecting on loans made to you or guaranteed by the
Government. Financial records involving your transaction will be available to FSA without further notice or authorization but will not be
disclosed or released by this institution to another Government Agency or Department without your consent except as required by
law.
B. THE FEDERAL EQUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITY ACT: Prohibits creditors from discriminating against applicants on the basis of
race, color, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract),
because all or a part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program, or because the applicant has in good faith
exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
C. FEDERAL COLLECTION POLICIES: Delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and abuses of mortgage loans involving programs of the
Federal Government can be costly and detrimental to your credit, now and in the future. The mortgage lender in this transaction, its
agents and assigns as well as the Federal Government, its agencies, agents and assigns, are authorized to take any and all of the
following actions in the event loan payments become delinquent on the mortgaged loan described in the attached application: (1)
Report your name and account information to a credit bureau; (2) Assess additional interest and penalty charges for the period of time
that payment is not made; (3) Assess charges to cover additional administrative costs incurred by the Government to service your
account; (4) Offset amounts owed to you under other Federal programs; (5) Refer your account to a private attorney, collection
agency or mortgage servicing agency to collect the amount due, foreclose the mortgage, sell the property and seek judgment against
you for any deficiency; (6) Refer your account to the Department of Justice for litigation; (7) If you are a current or retired Federal
employee, take action to offset your salary, or civil service retirement benefits; (8) Refer your debt to the Department of the Treasury
for cross-servicing and offset against any amount owed to you by any Federal Agency such as an income tax refund; and (9) Report
any resulting written-off debt to the Internal Revenue Service as taxable income. All of these actions can and will be used to recover
debts owed to the Federal Government when in its best interests.
3. RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLOSURE OF LOBBYING ACTIVITIES:
A. The applicant:
(1) Certifies that if any funds, by or on behalf of the applicant, have been or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to
influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of
Congress in connection with the awarding of any Federal contract, the making of any Federal grant or Federal loan, and the
extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any Federal contract, grant, or loan, the applicant shall complete
and submit Standard Form - LLL, "Disclosure of Lobbying Activities," in accordance with its instructions.
(2) Shall require that the language of this certification be included in the award documents for all sub-awards at all tiers (including
contracts, subcontracts, and subgrants, under grants and loans) and that all subrecipients shall certify and disclose accordingly.
B. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into.
Submission of this statement is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction. Any person who fails to file the required

ECOA - RIGHT TO RECEIVE APPRAISAL:
As part of the assistance provided by FSA, an appraisal report or written real estate valuation may be required to determine the value of
the property you intend to pledge as security. If FSA orders an appraisal or completes a written real estate valuation, you will receive a
copy at no cost. You will receive a copy at least three business days prior to the closing of your loan or servicing action. On occasion,
the three-day waiting period could cause a delay in loan closing. If you so choose, you have a right to waive this waiting period and a
