FSA Rural Youth Loan Program

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency (FSA) makes operating loans of up to $5,000 to eligible individual rural youths age 10 through 20 to finance income-producing, agriculture-related projects. The project must be of modest size, educational, and initiated, developed and carried out by rural youths participating in 4-H clubs, FFA or a similar organization."  See Your State Farm Service Agency Office for Applications: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/stateOffices?area=stoffice&subject=landing&topic=landing
