The goal of FSA’s farm loan program is to provide supervised credit and management assistance to eligible farmers to become owners or operators, or both, of family farms or to continue such operations when credit is not available elsewhere. The Farm Loan Borrower Relief Program (FLBRP) is to provide assistance to economically distressed direct and guaranteed farm loan borrowers whose operations are at financial risk.
