Spring has arrived and brought with it a wave of com- motion in the bridal industry. Everyone from cake decora- tions to photographers is competing for the attention of future brides and grooms. With the promise of warmer weather, the brides in the midst of planning their wedding are shopping around for lowest prices and for high- est quàlity. The planning of the wed- ding is usually a fun time with many stressful moments. Often the bride attends a couple of bridal shows with her mother and bridesmaids in tow. After months of prepara- tion the big moment arrives. Hopefully it is a wedding the bride and groom can cherish for years to come. Last summer my daughter was rushing around arrang- ing the final touches on her wedding, The wedding was a wonderful success! Once again I find myself in a whirlwind of bridal activity. My oldest son Jason is get- ting married in August. His girlfriend is a wonder- ful person who treats my son very well. A mother could not ask for a better match. Their personalities compliment each other. Hopefully they can continue to grow togeth- er over the years and bring joy into each other's lives. When my daughter and two sons were growing up I imagined their wedding days. I tried to conjure the perfect mate for each of them. I visu- alized the beautiful grand- children they would give me. I saw themin their own little homes with a white picket fence and a family dog in the years. Yes, I had dreams for them before they were even old enough to dream for them- selves. Now they have their own dreams. Nellie and Jason have chosen someone to share their lives and dreams with. They have faced the question of love and commit- ment and have dedicated themselves to marriage. So many young people will walk down the aisle with visions of eternal happiness. When the hurts and disap- pointments of everyday life invade the bliss of matrimony it can be a painful experience that ends in divorce. It can also be a strengthening expe- rience that tightens the bonds of love and marriage. No one can foresee whether a marriage will last. We can only hope for the best for all newlyweds. To every bride and groom I remind that winter will follow your spring and summer wedding romance. Yes, win- ter will come. But if you are patient the warmth and beau- ty of your initial romance will return on the wings of spring. Farm News Farm Improvement Loans The Farm Improvement and Marketing Cooperatives Loans Act is a federal program that increases the availability of credit to farming operations and farmer-owned marketing cooperatives by providing a guarantee on farm loans. Borcowers can repay the loan at either prime rate plus 1% or at a fixed rate for up to 5 years at prime plus 1% plus one-quarter of 1% for each year. For example, prime plus 2.25% for a 5 year, fixed rate, term loan. The maximum loan amount is $250,000 and the maximum term is 15 years for land and 10 years for all other purposes.

Loans are for most farm purposes; not eligible are improvements to dwellings, quota purchases, operating loans and loans for feeder livestock.
