FCC extends Young Farmer Loan Program

Nov. 6, 2013, Regina, SK - Farm Credit Canada (FCC) has extended its loan program designed to help young farmers purchase or improve farmland and buildings.

Launched in March 2012, the Young Farmer Loan Program offers qualified producers who are under 40 years of age loans of up to $500,000 to purchase or improve farmland and buildings. The loan includes features and options that address this demographic and support their long-term success, including variable rates at prime plus 0.5 per cent, a special fixed rate and no loan processing fees.

FCC has approved more than $500 million in loans since the program was announced, and is now doubling its commitment to $1 billion for lending to young farmers.
