The final rule would amend loan making and servicing to improve program delivery of Farm Loan Programs. These program improvements are based on feedback from program participants, lending partners, cooperators, and stakeholders and align with administration priorities to enhance customer service and build confidence in federal programs.  The rule addresses key barriers to program access related to applicant farm experience and loan collateral requirements. Additionally, this rule provides for the development of farm operating plans and repayment terms that emphasize the accumulation of working capital reserves and savings necessary to ensure farm resiliency and promote operational growth. This rule also strengthens servicing options available for financially distressed customers and those affected by natural disasters by reducing barriers and expanding access to installment set-aside programs.  (NOTE:  The rulemaking initiative was formerly titled:  Streamline and Consolidate Value-Added Oversight of Farm Loan Programs.)
