New Computer Application to Speed-Up Loan Payments to Farmers

The application, which became fully functional on April 12, provides Internet-based technology for all loan making and loan-servicing processes and will improve delivery of supervised credit to 70,000 farm borrowers. “We must continue to improve the tools that our dedicated state and county office workers use to serve our customers,” said FSA Administrator Jonathan Coppess. “Our new equipment is easier to use and much more practical in today’s Internet-dependent business environment.” Learn more.
