Marcie,
I want to put in a good word for the FSA office here in Ogle, Lee and
Dekalb Counties Illinois. They were open to the idea of a CSA, took the time
to
really go over my business plan and wanted to learn about this other option of
marketing. I did receive a beginning farmer operating loan (they changed the
definition of a beginning farmer with the 1996 farm bill) I did not qualify as
a beginning farmer for a loan to purchase the property. To be a beginning
farmer you have to already be a farmer for three years. (government?) The rate
was great( I was able to qualify for the low income rate 5% and I have seven
years to repay. I would hope each FSA office would be this helpful but I only
have experience with the three county offices near my farm. Check 'em out.
