TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2002 The Department of Agriculture has approved a national expansion of an Indian loan and credit program that got its start at a tribal college in Montana. Called the American Indian Credit Outreach Initiative, the program focuses on making farm loans more accessible to tribal members living on reservations. Since it started in Montana, it has doubled the number of Native Americans obtaining loans and cut delinquency in half. Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman expanded the program nationally this month. Get the Story:
