The downpayment loan program reflects the dual realities of increasingly scarce federal resources and the significant cash flow requirements of most new operations. It combines the resources of the FSA, the beginning farmer, and a commercial lender or private seller. Because the government’s share of the total loan can’t exceed one-third of the price, limited federal dollars can be spread to more beginning farmers.
