On This Day in Economic History
July
17
1916
On this day in 1916, America's farmers got financial relief as Congress passed the Federal Farm Loan Act. The legislation called for the creation of a land bank that would give out loans to farmers who really needed funds to preserve and upgrade their crops. The passage of the bill was celebrated by the nation's farm owners, who had long struggled to secure equitable loans from commercial banks.
