In 1992, the Agricultural Credit Improvement Act passed, and the FmHA was founded.

The Farmers Home Loan Administration oversees a variety of programs that address different lending avenues for rural communities. They also oversee and award grants to certain non-profit organizations that develop civic betterment in rural communities.

The Federal department, which finances aid to farm related individuals, addresses a variety of needs within rural communities including having the authority to extend financial loans to not only farm families, but to public entities and non-profit businesses that are seeking to improve public facilities. Sewer and water systems are worthy project development opportunities for a contract company to present to the Farmers Home Loan Administration. Also, the FmHA will consider loans that cover rescue vehicles, and public helps building projects such as fire stations and hospitals. The community qualifications for FmHA standards are generally for communities of less than 20,000 residents.

The projects and homebuyers that qualify for financing administered by the FmHA will receive the lowest interest rate that is published or in effect at the time of processing. The interest rate can be subject to negotiations when the loan is awarded by a lending company, but continues to be guaranteed by the Farmers Home Loan Administration. To find out more about the FmHA and how the department helps with different services, interested parties can find information online. Those seeking information about loans guaranteed, that live in rural areas, can also contact local lending institutions and find banks that may qualify as lenders. "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit" (Ecclesiastes 7:8), is good advice in going through the loan process which many times seems to take forever.
