Excerpt from Agricultural Finance Outlook, 1959 Farmers stepped up their use of production credit in 1958, and they will probably use even more in 1959. Demand for farm-mortgage credit, which has been relatively low during the last 2 years, increased somewhat since mid-1958 and may continue to increase in 1959. The aggregate supply of lenders' funds available to agriculture is expected to be as large in 1959 as in 1958 and most farmers will be able to get the amounts they need. As usual, those with low incomes and small equities will have most difficulty with their financing Interest rates have strengthened since midyear and may increase further in 1959.
