Abstract

This article presents study results of a state-sponsored concessionary loan program for farmers in Ohio started in 1985. Four criteria are used to evaluate the program: its overall costs to the state, extent to which subsidies reached financially stressed farmers, relative size of the subsidies compared to farmers' needs, and extent to which the program provided additional funds to participating farmers. Conclusions are that the program cost the state about $12 million, that only a small percentage of the financially stressed farmers in Ohio received benefits, that the subsidies provided were small compared to need, and that the program resulted in little additional lending to farmers.
