RE: [Alpacasite]

Hello,

Two of my sons have FSA Youth Loans, through Alaska's USDA FSA. You can
contact their Palmer, Alaska office for help, perhaps. I believe that they
have had others also apply for (and possibly receive) loans for alpacas.

Hope this helps,
Monica

Here is a new one that I really need some help with. Recently I filed a loan
app. with FSA and today received a denial to my loan because "alpacas are
not considered farm animals" and they do not consider them a farm
enterprise. I know that they are farm animals and need to show this person
who knows notheing about alpacas that they are farm animals not just
exotics. If any one has any thing to show this rep I would appreciate it
including any state where the Farm Service does consider alpacas farm
animals. I have 30 days to put together a package for reconsideration. I
am trying to expand my already owned farm to one that can produce an alpaca
income in just a couple of years instead of one that starts with a few
animals and has to wait to see his/her FARM grow to an endeavor showing an
income. Thanks in advance. Cathy Stephenson StephenOakes Farms Chester, SC
