Farmers' Guide to Minnesota Lending Law (Second Edition)
Available ST. PAUL, MINN.
Farmers' Legal Action Group, Inc. (FLAG) announces that its second edition of Farmers' Guide to Minnesota Lending Law is now available. Credit is the lifeblood of farming. Farming without a working knowledge of lending law-or the resources to buy legal assistance-can have devastating
results. Serious price, production, and weather difficulties almost always become credit problems. The stark and ongoing reality is that many mortgaged farms are lost or nearly lost to foreclosure, property pledged as collateral is repossessed, judgment liens are entered-and the livelihood of Minnesota's family farmers is threatened in these circumstances.
"Farmers' Guide to Minnesota Lending Law is the book Minnesota Farm Advocates rely on in assisting farmers with financial problems," according to Bruce Lubitz of Frazee, the Minnesota Farm Advocates' Co-Field Manager. Minnesota Farm Advocates provide free one-on-one assistance to farmers in crisis.
The book can be downloaded from FLAG's website at:
http://www.flaginc.org/. A bound copy of the book is
available without cost to financially distressed Minnesota farmers by calling 1-800-233-4534. For other persons, the charge is $20 per book, and orders can be placed by calling FLAG's office at 651-223-5400.
"First published in 1996, this updated second edition of Farmers' Guide to Minnesota Lending Law provides farmers current information on important legal issues such as foreclosures, obtaining credit and Farmer-Lender Mediation," says David Moeller, FLAG staff attorney, the book's primary author.
FLAG is a nonprofit law center in St. Paul, Minnesota, dedicated to providing legal services to family farmers and their rural communities in order to help keep family farmers on the land.
