Do you or someone you know need assistance?
Our Rural Financial Counsellors are here to assist you 🌿
Remember – a farm business doesn’t need to weather years of drought hardship to qualify for a Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) Drought Loan to carry out drought preparation, management and recovery activities.
If you’ve experienced 12 months or more of drought conditions with a financial impact on your farm business, you may qualify for a RIC loan for drought management and recovery.
RIC CEO Bruce King said the criteria is especially applicable to WA farmers who have not faced dry conditions for as long as their eastern state counterparts but want to improve their drought resilience.
“Farmers don’t need to suffer through years of low rainfall seasons before they’re able to apply for a Drought Loan from the Regional Investment Corporation and benefit from our affordable loan terms,” Mr King said.
Drought Loan applications made on or before 30 September 2020 will also be eligible for two years’ interest free, three years’ interest only then five years’ principal and interest repayments over a 10-year loan term for amounts up to $2 million.
