Farm loan deadline approaching
Farmers and ranchers in all Oklahoma counties except Beaver, Cimarron and Texas who suffered storm losses Jan. 12-26 are reminded of the Dec. 12 deadline to apply for emergency loans through the Farm Service Agency.
Loans may be used to purchase seed, fertilizer, fuel and for repairs.
Michael Roberts, farm loan manager, said farmers can use the money for the most essential operating and living costs. Loans covering losses are at a 3.75 percent interest rate.
More information is available from the local FSA office, 238-6236.
American Guaranty
Title plans class
American Guaranty Title Company will present a class for Realtors and mortgage lenders at the Newcastle Community Center 10 a.m. Dec. 6.
The Top Title Questions class will be presented by Kristal Beard, closer and escrow office manager for AGT’s Southwest Oklahoma City office.
“The class is designed for the veteran Realtors as well as someone who has been licensed only a short while,” Beard said. “We will be discussing common pitfalls of the real estate transaction as well as how to get to the closing table smoothly. I’m always excited to teach these classes because I feel it is an important service to the public as well as to the industry.”
The course has been approved for two hours of continuing education and lunch will be provided after the class concludes around noon.
Reservations can be made by calling Gail Smith at 737-4834 or e-mailing gsmith@oldrepublictitle.com.
