FSA loans for youth

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) makes loans to individual rural youths to establish and operate income-producing projects of modest size in connection with their participation in 4-H clubs, Future Farmers of America, and similar organizations. Each project must be part of an organized and supervised program of work.

To qualify for a loan, an applicant must: be a citizen of the United States, be between 10 and 20 years old, live in a town of less than 10,000 people, be unable to obtain a loan from other sources, and conduct a modest income-producing project in a supervised program of work.

Contact your local FSA office for more information. Each year, many young entrepreneurs take advantage of these loans and gain valuable business experience in the process.
