Re: [Alpacasite]

Several years ago, when I talked to FSA in WA state, they said that they
could not accept alpacas as collateral.
However, you can use your farm property as collateral and apply for a
home equity line of credit.

>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
