TeachMeFinance.com - explain Emergency Disaster (EM) Loan Program Emergency Disaster (EM) Loan Program The term 'Emergency Disaster (EM) Loan Program ' as it applies to the area of agriculture can be defined as ' When a county has been declared a disaster area by either the President or the Secretary of Agriculture, farmers in that county may become eligible for low-interest emergency disaster (EM) loans available through the Farm Service Agency (formerly Farmers Home Administration). EM loan funds may be used to help producers recover from production losses (when the producer suffers a significant loss of an annual crop) or from physical losses (such as repairing or replacing damaged or destroyed structures or equipment, or for the replanting of permanent crops such as orchards). A qualified producer can then borrow up to 80% of the actual production loss or $500,000, whichever is less, at a subsidized interest rate'. About the author
