NO-INTEREST LOANS AIM TO DEVELOP AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY: GRANTS WILL BE MADE TO SMALL-SCALE FARMERS, FOOD-FOCUSED ENTREPRENEURS

“A new regional nonprofit, Four Corners Slow Money, wants to help develop the regional agricultural economy by providing small-scale farmers and food-focused entrepreneurs with no-interest loans.
Small growers can have trouble qualifying for traditional loans if they don’t have credit, if they require a small dollar amount or if they need flexible terms, said Sandhya Tillotson, a member of the steering committee.
“With this local loan, we can support just about anything a farmer wants to do on their farm,” she said.”
