A reduced interest rate financing program for Hoosier livestock farmers is available through the Indiana State treasurer's office.Called the Treasurer's Agricultural Loan Program (TALP), this year, the state plans to funnel $25 million in low-interest loans to help livestock farmers with the costs associated with their operations, feed, labor and production-related energy.
The funds are disbursed through select financial institutions throughout the state, including Farm Credit Services of Mid-America, an agricultural-financial cooperative serving over 82,000 farmers throughout a four state territory.
