Easier Access to Loans for New Farmers and Ranchers.

The Act eliminates the requirement of blood or marriage relationship for individuals applying for federal loans designated for beginning farmers and ranchers. This change ensures that unrelated individuals who wish to start a farming business together will have equal opportunities to obtain financial support. This opens the door to agriculture for a wider range of new entrepreneurs.
Key points
Elimination of the requirement of relationship (blood or marriage) when applying for loans for beginning farmers and ranchers.
Expansion of access to federal financing for new farming partnerships and ventures not bound by family ties.
