The Federal Land Bank Asso-
ciation of Waco is one- of 73
associations in the Federal Land
Bank District of Houston, which
in turn, is one of 12 Federal
Land Banks that serve the 50
states.
"Altogether,” Mr. Roach went
on to say, “the Federal Land
Bank System nationally has loan-
ed its farmer-members more
than $12 billion. The Land Bank of
Houston has loaned Texas farm-
ers more than $1.1 billion. Approx-
imately $7 million currently is
loaned to farmers anJ ranchers
in the three counties served.
Not only have farmers proved
to be outstandingly good loan
risks, but Land Bank foreclosur-
es almost are unheard of today.
Instead, given money with which
to work, they have proved to be
production geniuses of a quality
rarely found anywhere in Ameri-
can business.
“There are one-half as many
farmers today as there were 50
years ago,” Mr. Roach said,
“and they’re feeding a popula-
tion that has doubled in this
century. They rank among the
greatest users of technology the
world has ever known. Anyone
who doubts it should visit a mod-
ern farm today.
