At USDA Rural Development, improving the quality of life and expanding economic opportunities in rural communities is measured in jobs created, families

helped, infrastructure built, community facilities provided, and businesses

grown. The mission is broad and—from increased homeownership to universal

broadband access, from rural health care to business starts—it is at the heart of

the Bush Administration’s commitment to rural America.

Under President Bush’s leadership, Rural Development has set new priorities

including increased support for first responders, improved health care, universal

access to broadband by 2007, and building an ownership society. Rural homeownership overall is at a record 76.1 percent, and USDA Rural Development is

working to expand homeownership even more, particularly among historically

underserved minority populations. We are making programs more accessible by

moving them online, working with borrowers to reduce delinquency rates, and

providing venture capital for a diversifying rural economy.

This is an exciting era of growth and transformation, but the unique values and

traditions of rural America still endure. President Bush, the USDA Rural

Development team, and I respect these fundamental values of industry, personal

responsibility, and free enterprise, and we are working hard to support rural families, businesses, and communities as they build a vibrant future for all of rural

America.

Citizens and community leaders throughout rural America share a common

desire to bring economic opportunity and an improved quality of life to their

community. There is a remarkable cohesiveness among rural citizens that allows

the energy and enthusiasm of local citizens to harness the resources needed to

bring solutions to economic and social issues facing their communities.

Today, more Americans than ever are realizing their dream of becoming a homeowner. USDA Rural Development is bringing stability to families and neighborhoods and increasing personal family wealth through building of financial equity

in their future. I am proud to say that 20 percent of the first-time homeowners

receiving financing this year are minority families.

We are committed to aggressively working to help families, communities and

businesses build the basic community infrastructure, create more local jobs, and

gain access to educational and health care services and technologies that allow

them to be better prepared to compete in a global environment. USDA Rural

Development is the sole government agency that can build rural communities

from the ground up.

To date, the Bush Administration, through USDA Rural Development, has invested $50 billion to help create or save over 800,000 jobs. We have a team of dedicated professionals capable and ready to work with you to improve the quality of

life in rural America. I encourage you to contact your local or State office to learn

more about how USDA Rural Development can help improve the quality of life

and increase the economic opportunity in your community.

USDA Rural Development leads the Federal effort to

increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life in rural America. The mission is broad and—

with President Bush’s initiatives for an ownership society, better access to critical health care, improved education, and universal broadband access—it is expanding.

2004 Highlights

For nearly 70 years, Rural Development and its predecessor agencies have spearheaded the delivery of rural

electrical, telephone, and water services, expanded the

rental housing stock in rural communities, helped millions of rural Americans become homeowners, and

provided loans and technical assistance to thousands

of small rural businesses and cooperatives. In 2004

alone, Rural Development:

• Leveraged over $14 billion in new investment in

rural America at a cost to the taxpayers of just $2.4 billion to create or save an estimated 300,000 jobs.

• Delivered technical assistance, loans, or loan guarantees to over 11,500 small rural businesses—assistance which created or saved over 81,000 jobs. 

• Extended new or improved electric service to

4,325,985 consumers; new or improved water or wastewater services to 965,780 users; new or improved telephone service (including broadband) to 217,602 subscriber connections. (There are usually multiple individuals at each connection).

• Extended distance learning and telemedicine opportunities to 618 schools, nearly 600,000 students, 228

health facilities, and over 2 million patients.

• Deployed broadband transmission services to critical community facilities in 16 extremely rural, lower

income communities with an average population of

412, where no broadband service existed.

• Helped over 60,000 families buy or repair their homes.

• Managed a total portfolio of over $87 billion in

investments in rural America, including approximately

$41 billion in utilities loans, another $41 billion in

housing loans, and $6.7 billion in business and cooperative loans.

Strategic Initiatives

The challenges—and opportunities—are great. Rural

America covers 80 percent of the land area of the

United States and is home to over 60 million people. It

ranges from vibrant rural communities with diversified, growing economies to areas suffering from isolation, poor infrastructure, lack of jobs, and population

decline. Each community is unique.

Fortunately, with over 40 programs ranging from

housing and utilities to business development and job

creation, Rural Development’s reach is as broad as

rural America itself. Because rural America is dynamic

and rapidly changing, Rural Development is not standing still. Current initiatives to improve Rural

Development’s scope, effectiveness, and efficiency

include:

• Leveraging and Partnerships. To maximize investment in rural America, Rural Development is increasingly emphasizing the use of loan guarantees. While

grants and direct loans remain important tools, loan

guarantees broaden participation among local partCommitted to the future of rural communities

• Distance Learning and Telemedicine. Since 2001,

over $177 million in Distance Learning and

Telemedicine loans, grants, and loan/grant combinations have been provided to link rural schools,

libraries, and medical facilities to urban and university-based centers to provide virtual access to resources

that would otherwise be thwarted by geographic distance. Participants have included 2,998 rural educational facilities and 1,118 rural health care institutions.

• Quality Healthcare. The absence of community

medical centers in rural areas can mean long travel

times and, in emergency situations and adverse weather, can have life-threatening consequences. In addition

to the telemedicine initiative, Rural Development provides major direct support for rural hospitals and clinics. In 2004, Rural Development grants, loans, and loan

guarantees to rural hospitals exceeded $161 million.

• First Responders. Rural Development assists rural

communities in developing better emergency services

such as fire stations and equipment, ambulances, paramedic and rescue units, and severe weather warning

systems. These investments improve the safety of rural

residents. They also support President Bush’s homeland security strategy, which includes initiatives to

strengthen first responder capabilities.

• Renewable Energy Systems. Increasing the domestic

energy supply is a major priority of the Bush

Administration. It is also an area of high growth

potential for America’s farmers and cooperatives. Over

the last 4 years, Rural Development has invested over

$190 million in renewable energy projects through traditional loan and guarantee programs, value-added

ventures, and a new program, the Renewable Energy

and Energy Efficiency Improvement Grants.

This Progress Report reviews Rural Development’s

2004 achievements in three principal mission areas—

housing, business, and utilities—and highlights selected new initiatives designed to meet the rapidly evolving challenges facing rural America in the 21st century.

Rural Housing and Community Facilities

• Improving Quality of Life

• Strengthening Communities

• Building Ownership and Opportunity

Since 1950, USDA Rural Development has worked to

improve the availability, quality, and affordability of

housing in rural communities. Rural Development also

helps provide vital community facilities—schools and

job training centers, hospitals and clinics, fire stations

and emergency equipment, day care centers, libraries,

and other important amenities—in underserved rural

areas.

These investments directly enhance the quality of life

of rural residents. They make rural communities more

attractive for potential business investors. And they

directly support the Bush Administration’s strategy to

create a more broadly based ownership society by

enabling moderate- and low-income rural families—

over 60,000 in 2004 alone, including 49,496 new homeowners—to purchase or perform vital repairs on their

homes. Rural Development’s housing programs also

supported over 58,000 jobs in 2004.

Since 2000, Rural Development has provided more

than 567,000 affordable housing units for low- and

moderate-income rural Americans, through financing

new homes and apartments or through financial aid to

make needed repairs to existing properties. Rural

Development also provided direct or guaranteed

financing for almost 4,700 essential community facilities.

Key Strategic Initiatives:

• Minority Homeownership

President Bush and USDA Rural Development are

committed to opening the door to homeownership to

all Americans. This commitment includes a special

effort to reach out to minority communities in which

homeownership rates have historically lagged the

national average. Rural Development is proud that

over 20 percent of the homes it financed in 2004 were

purchased by minority families.

To further encourage minority homeownership, Rural

Development is actively working to increase the number of minority groups participating in the Mutual SelfHelp Program, reach out to minority lenders, and promote credit counseling and homeownership education.

• Serving the Taxpayers: Reducing Defaults

Rural Development’s housing programs enable families of modest means to achieve the American dream

of homeownership and the many benefits that accompany it: family stabilization, a more secure environment for children, building equity, and accumulating

intergenerational assets. However, serving lower

income homebuyers—many with past credit problems—unavoidably increases risk.

It’s not enough just to put families into homes—the

goal is to keep them there! Rural Development is stepping up homeowner education, intensive credit counseling, and early intervention to address problems

before they spiral out of control. Since 1997, these initiatives have reduced the new loan delinquency rate by

54.4 percent and overall delinquencies by 21.2 percent.

Selected Programs: Overview

• Single Family Housing

Single Family Direct Homeownership Loans 

(Section 502)

Provides subsidized, low-interest housing loans for

very-low- and low-income rural Americans. At the current time, about half the loans are made to people

whose incomes are below 50 percent of the median for

their area.

Single Family Guaranteed Homeownership Loans

(Section 502)

Provides loan guarantees for home purchases by families with low to moderate incomes. Borrowers are not

required to make a down payment toward the home

purchase. At the current time, over 30 percent of guarantees are provided to low-income families.

Mutual Self-Help Housing Program 

(Section 523)

Provides grants to local nonprofit groups, which supervise teams of lower income families who provide more

than half the labor to build their own homes. This

“sweat equity” significantly reduces the purchase price.

Participating families typically finance their homes

through a Section 502 Direct homeownership loan.

Housing Home Repair Loan and Grant Programs

(Section 504)

Provides 1 percent loans to very-low-income homeowners to make essential repairs or rehabilitation to

their homes. Grants of up to $7,500 for essential repairs

are available to elderly homeowners who cannot

afford even a 1 percent loan.

• Multi-Family Housing

Farm Labor Housing Program 

(Sections 514/516)

Provides low-interest loans and grants to public or

nonprofit agencies or to individual farmers to build

affordable rental housing for farm workers.

Rural Rental Housing Program: Direct Loans 

(Section 515)

Provides low-interest direct loans to developers of

affordable rural rental housing for low-income residents. Currently, almost 90 percent of Section 515 tenants have incomes below 50 percent of the median in

their area, with an average income of less than $9,000.

According to a recently completed analysis of the portfolio, the Comprehensive Property Assessment (CPA),

approximately 57 percent are elderly.

Rural Rental Housing Program: Guaranteed Loans

(Section 538)

Provides loan guarantees for the development of

affordable rental housing in rural areas for low- to

moderate-income residents. This program serves tenants with incomes below 115 percent of the median for

their area.

Housing Preservation Grant Program 

(Section 533)

Provides grants to nonprofit organizations, public entities, and Native American tribes to renovate homes

and rental properties occupied by low- and very-lowincome families. The program leverages Federal funds

by seeking partnerships with outside funders.

Rental Assistance Program 

(Section 521)

Provides rental assistance to some low-income tenants

of Section 515 and Section 514/516 housing so that outof-pocket rent and utilities do not exceed 30 percent of

income. Rental assistance is often critical in preserving

the viability of very-low-income housing complexes.

• Community Facilities

Community Facilities Direct and Guaranteed Loans

Assists rural communities in financing critical community facilities including schools, hospitals and clinics,

day care centers, libraries, fire stations and equipment,

and much more. Borrowers include municipalities,

counties, special-purpose districts, nonprofit corporations, and Native American tribes. Applicants must

demonstrate financial soundness, ability to repay, and

ability to effectively manage the new facility.

Community Facilities Grants

Grants are typically awarded to smaller, lower income

communities—often with high structural unemployment—to help finance essential community facilities.

Grants are usually packaged as part of a larger financial package and are key tools in leveraging additional

contributions from outside funders.

Technical Assistance

Rural Development routinely provides extensive technical assistance to applicants through all stages of project development. This is a vital service to many smaller rural communities that may lack technical and

financial expertise.

Success Stories

USDA Guaranteed Loans Make

Homeownership a Reality

Jamie and Yessica Cuevas wanted their own home – a

place for their small child to grow up in. They applied

for a USDA Rural Development guaranteed loan

through the Madison County Bank in Norfolk, Neb.

Their loan officer guided them through the process

and encouraged them to take a homebuyer education

course sponsored by the Elkhorn Valley Community

Development Corporation, which they successfully

completed.

Success Stories
Madison County Bank gave the Cuevases an $84,000

loan guaranteed by Rural Development. Major

Mortgage of Columbus assisted the bank in processing

the Cuevases’ loan application. The Nebraska

Investment Finance Authority’s Homebuyer Assistance

Program financed the closing costs.

Mr. Cuevas’ steady employment history and the couple’s ability to manage their spending habits responsibly made it possible for them to finance 100 percent of

the purchase price of their new home. Guaranteeing a

loan allows Rural Development to leverage its

resources and provide homeownership opportunities

to more people. The creditworthiness of borrowers in

this program is on par with industry standards.

The Cuevases were very excited when their realtor

replaced the “For Sale” sign that stood in the front

yard of their new home with a “Sold” sign.

Mother and Daughter Get Accessible

New Home

Making homes accessible to people with limited mobility is one of many services Rural Development provides to improve the lives of rural Americans.

Margaret Rider and her daughter Tenille, who has

used a wheelchair for the past 2 years, were living in

an apartment financed by USDA Rural Development

in Elko, Nev., and wanted to buy their own home.

Since they needed assistance with the down payment

and with accessibility upgrades, the Riders contacted

Rural Development’s local office in Elko for help with

the loan processing. The Elko staff contacted the Rural

Nevada Development Corporation (RNDC), a nonprofit group that focuses on community development and

housing rehabilitation.

Rural Development provided the Riders with a

direct homeownership

loan. RNDC furnished

the down payment assistance and made the

handicapped-accessible

upgrades for the 1,680-

square-foot manufactured home. The Riders

moved into their new

home just in time for

Christmas 2003.

“This is my Christmas,” Margaret Rider said. “Could

you think of a better present? I love it.” Tenille Rider

said she is excited about being able to move about the

house easily.

A Lasting Love and a New Home

The year 2004 was one of the best years of many for

Everett Gray, 89, and his wife, Arline, 80. The Grays

were preparing to move into a home in Havana, Ark.,

which they had helped build through Rural

Development’s Mutual Self-Help program.

After living in the same house for 55 years, the Grays

decided they needed to make their home more comfortable. They still lived without

air-conditioning and had only

one propane heater. They made

an appointment with Beverly

Massey of the Universal Housing

Development

Corporation

(UHDC) to discuss

their options for

help with the

improvements. It was determined after the home

inspection, however, that the Gray’s home was so deteriorated that, even with major improvements, it could

not be considered safe.

Rural Development staff suggested the Grays consider

building a new home through the Mutual Self-Help

program. Mr. and Mrs. Gray decided that was their

best option.

The Grays’ new home, which is near their old one, has

2 bedrooms, 1 1⁄2 baths, 1,008 square feet of living area,

and special features designed for persons with limited

mobility.

Although the Grays said their old home was barely livable, it was difficult to leave it. It was still “home,” a

teary-eyed Mrs. Gray said. She again becomes cheerful

and animated when talking about the new home, calling it “my own little playhouse.”

Historic Town Recovers From

Devastating Hurricane

It has been 5 years since Hurricane Floyd destroyed

the majority of the homes in the small town of

Princeville in Edgecombe County, N.C. Recognized as

the first town in America chartered by freed slaves,

Princeville needed to restore its population and spur

economic growth.

Through its Single Family Housing loan programs,

Rural Development has made homeownership a reality for many Princeville citizens, old and new. One of

Rural Development’s partnerships was with the North

Carolina Development Initiative, which was formed to

bring affordable houses into town and help first-time

homeowners.

When Martin County native Loetta Joyner was riding

through Princeville one day and saw one of the houses

built through the Initiative, she decided she wanted to

make a new home in this historically significant town

and be a part of its growth. She called the number

posted on the house and attended the required homeownership classes in order to qualify. Several months

later, she bought the house with financing from Rural

Development and became a Princeville resident.

Thanks in part to Rural Development, Princeville’s

population has rebounded to more than 2,000, almost

the same number as before the flood, and up from a

mere 921 in 2000.

By partnering with other organizations, Rural

Development has stretched its funds to bring affordable housing to former Princeville citizens, as well as

new ones like Loetta Joyner.

USDA Helps Rural Americans Get

Homes– And Keep Them!

Nine years ago, Maricella Gonzalez and her husband

received a mortgage from Rural Development for a

home in Madras, Ore.

“It was an American dream,” Mrs. Gonzalez said of

getting the home. “We got a house and I thank God

and the guys in the program I am in my house.” The

family had three children at home at the time.

Mrs. Gonzalez, a cook at a residential drug treatment

center, is even more thankful today for her three-bedroom house. On June 9, she went into the hospital for

routine surgery on her leg, but ended up needing

numerous additional surgeries. Mrs. Gonzalez couldn’t

work and thought she would lose her house. She was

now divorced and had two of her children still living

at home.

As a single parent, she had difficulty making her mortgage payment because health problems kept her out of

work. Rural Development allowed Mrs. Gonzalez to

postpone payments. “They helped me so much,” she

explains. “I believe I am not going to make payments

for the rest of the year, which would allow me to get

my feet on the ground and pay my doctor bills. I am

very thankful.”

Loan, Tax Credits Help Preserve MultiFamily Housing Complex

Red Bluff Meadows Apartments – in a rural town of

13,000 in northern California – was an aging, 52-unit

Section 515 rental housing complex headed for trouble.

Built with USDA financing in 1979, the property was

rapidly showing signs of age and was in need of repair.

Roofs were leaking, siding was worn, and systems were

failing. The site managers were confronted with a daily

struggle to provide the tenants a good quality of life.

Today, after using Rural Development’s innovative

Revitalization Transfer process, Red Bluff Meadows has

been sold to motivated new owners at a price below its

market value. The new owners – Kimball Square

Associates, LP – have recommitted the property to at

least another 30 years as affordable rental housing.

The transfer was accomplished along with more than

$2.1 million of rehabilitation and upgrade work on the

property. The improvements were financed by a new

$776,000 Section 515 repair loan, more than $1.3 million of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and a commercial loan. In consideration, Rural Development

authorized an increased level of return for the new

owners. Thanks to the cooperative financial partnership with Rural Development, Red Bluff Meadows is

soundly re-positioned to continue providing affordable

rental housing to rural families.

Pulaski County, Indiana, Gets First Farm

Labor Housing Loan

Fred Gutwein and Sons, Inc., located in Pulaski

County, Ind., has more than 60 years of seed-growing

experience and is today one of North America’s leading independent producers of hybrid seed corn, special

market hybrids, soybeans, and alfalfa. The company

needed to upgrade its farmworker housing, most of

which was old, modified portable school classrooms.

The carpet was worn, the walls had holes, there was no

air conditioning, and there was very little heat.

USDA Rural Development provided a $250,000 lowinterest Farm Labor Housing loan to Fred Gutwein

and Sons, Inc., to support the construction of farm

labor housing for the workers. This is the first time

Rural Development has provided funding for farm

labor housing in Indiana.

Most of the workers Gutwein housed came from the

orange groves in Florida during slow times for that harvest. The company relies on these workers to make its

business successful. The new Gollier City Migrant

Housing Facility consists of eight properties providing

housing for 48 workers. The workers’ reaction to the

improvements has been one of amazement and appreciation.

Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation

Center Expands

The Walker Center for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse,

Inc., is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of

alcohol and drug addiction. Walker began with a 22-

bed facility in 1976 and has now evolved into a new,

state-of-the-art center for 48 patients, including adolescents. This expansion was accomplished with a $2.5

million Community Facilities Direct loan, a $1 million

Community Facilities Guaranteed loan, and a $2 million equity contribution.

The center is located in the 3,384-person farming community of Gooding, Idaho. It employs 58 people at the

main location and an additional 18 at its outpatient

care sites in 6 other rural communities.

Rural Business and Cooperative Programs

• Creating Jobs

• Strengthening Communities

• Diversifying the Rural Economy

Today, rural America is not just farming, ranching,

mining, and forestry—it’s also manufacturing, professional services, retail outlets, recreational facilities,

retirement communities, and much more. Even in

“farm country” counties, a majority of jobs and income

are derived from non-farm sources. In most farm families, at least one family member has full-time employment off the farm. The great majority of the over 60

million rural Americans do not farm at all. The vitality

of the rural business sector is essential to a healthy and

prosperous rural America.

Rural Development’s business programs directly

expand economic opportunity and enhance the quality

of life in rural America. They help rural communities

attract investment, build and sustain competitive businesses, and present more attractive options to young

people. They contribute to President Bush’s agenda for

an ownership society through their emphasis on entrepreneurial initiative, small enterprises, and local control.

In 2004, Rural Development’s business programs leveraged $1.1 billion in new investment in rural America,

supported over 11,500 small rural businesses, and created or saved over 81,000 jobs. This was achieved

through a flexible mix of loans, loan guarantees,

grants, and technical assistance. In total, Rural

Development manages an outstanding business program portfolio over $6.7 billion.

Key Strategic Initiatives:

• Value Added Production

The Value-Added Producer Grant program encourages

agricultural commodity producers to further refine or

enhance their products, thereby increasing their value

to end users and increasing the returns to producers.

Grants may be used for planning purposes such as

conducting feasibility analysis or developing business

plans, or for working capital accounts to pay salaries,

utilities, and other operating costs.

Farmers and ranchers, cooperatives, agricultural producer groups or organizations, and majority-controlled

producer-based business ventures are eligible to apply.

Eligible value-added ventures include processing,

identity-preserved marketing systems, marketing of

organic products, and the production of farm-based

renewable energy. Grant funds cannot be used for

planning, repairing, rehabilitating, acquiring, or constructing a building or facility (including a processing

facility) or to purchase, rent, or install fixed equipment.

• Renewable Energy and Energy-Efficiency

Improvement Grant Program

Created by the 2002 farm bill, this new initiative assists

farmers, ranchers, and rural small businesses in purchasing renewable energy systems and making energy

efficiency improvements. Eligible technologies include

wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, or hydrogen derived

from biomass or water using one of these alternative

energy sources. This program is part of President

Bush’s national energy strategy, which includes

increased use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies as high priorities. To date, nearly $45

million in grant assistance has been provided.

Success Stories

Growing a Family Business—Ohio

Gerber Poultry, a 52-year-old, family-owned poultry

processing operation in Kidron, Ohio, needed to grow.

Operating at capacity, the company was unable to

accommodate customers asking for increased supply.

A 24-year, $10 million Business and Industry

Guaranteed Loan solved the problem.

The loan allowed Gerber to expand its 80,000 squarefoot plant in Kidron with an additional 6,000 square feet

for new production and processing space, 14,000 square

feet for a larger refrigerated storage area, new shipping

docks, and improvements to the waste water treatment

system. Gerber will also add 7,000 square feet to its

chick hatchery in Orrville. The plant and hatchery

already employed 293 people and the additional capacity allowed Gerber to create another 23 jobs.

The company hopes the increase in production at the

hatchery and processing plant will help increase its

total production by 40 percent within 2 years, with

projected sales of over $50 million annually. In addition, 82 farmers in Wayne, Holmes, and Tuscarawas

Counties raising over 10 millions chickens a year will

benefit from the expansion.

An expected 15-20 businesses in Northwest Wisconsin

will benefit from two Rural Business Enterprise Grants

to the Wisconsin Business Innovation Corporation.

These funds, in the amounts of $65,000 and $62,875,

are supporting two initiatives:

(1) Technical assistance to a growing cluster of medical

device companies in Northwest Wisconsin, and

(2) Natural Capitalism-Science Based Agriculture,

Engineered Wood Products, and Renewable Energy.

This program focuses on technologies that achieve

greater yields from natural resources, replace nonrenewable with renewable resources, or use recycled material as feedstock.

Through September 2004, the program’s first quarter,

the Wisconsin Business Innovation Corporation has

assisted four medical device companies and three natural-resources-based companies with technical assistance

for business planning, market development, preparation of financial applications, and plan operations.

Sewing a New Future—Utah

Bringing new hope and a brighter future to an economically distressed area, a closed sewing plant has

been reopened as a Navajo women’s worker cooperative. The Montezuma Creek, Utah, facility, now known

as Navasew, had been idled for over 2 years. With

assistance from Rural Development, the plant is back

in business, currently employs 14 people, and has

strong potential to grow to 60-70 employees in the next

several months. In a community of approximately 500

people, the impact is enormous.

The turnaround began with the Rocky Mountain

Farmers Union Educational & Charitable Foundation,

which obtained a $46,545 Rural Business Opportunity

Grant to develop a business plan and fund startup

activities. As the project matured, the Foundation

received a subsequent $95,000 Rural Business

Enterprise Grant to fund equipment purchases, technical assistance, and contract acquisition activities. The

Foundation leases the plant and equipment to

Navasew.

Navasew itself is organized as an LLC with majority

ownership being held by the workers. Minority shares

are held by the Navajo Nation and Omega Apparel, an

experienced Smithville, Tenn., apparel manufacturer

that is providing project mentoring, production training, and subcontract work.

Wool Growers Staff the Meat Counter—

Utah

The Utah Wool Growers Association (UWGA) has

marketed an exciting new product—King’s Peak Lamb

Medallions—with the assistance of a $420,000 ValueAdded Producer Grant from USDA Rural

Development. The grant was made in 2002 and the

product first appeared on supermarket shelves in the

spring of 2004. It has been an immediate success, having sold more than 18,000 packages in 3 months.

UWGA partnered with the meat research lab at Utah

State University to develop the 4-ounce, boneless lamb

medallion. The medallions are small meat pieces that

have been sectioned, shaped, and formed through the

use of naturally occurring enzymes and proteins,

much like in the production of ham. The medallion is

then injected with moisture by an air injector to

enhance its flavor.

UWGA combined its Rural Development grant with

assistance from KSL, the NBC television affiliate in Salt

Lake City, and Agri

Solutions to promote its product

through radio and

television advertisements in the

Salt Lake City area. The advertising has emphasized

the local character of the product: the lamb used for

the medallions was born and raised in Utah, and the

manufacturing is also done in-state. More than 18,000

packages of King’s Peak Lamb Medallions flew off

supermarket shelves in just 3 months.

A Sweet Business in Michigan

A Michigan farmers’ cooperative is now employing

over 1,350 people and producing record amounts of

sugar thanks to a $500,000 Value Added Producer

Grant from USDA Rural Development.

The Michigan Sugar Beet Growers, Inc. (MSBG) was

approached by the financially distressed Imperial Sugar

Company about purchasing a subsidiary, the Michigan

Sugar Company. The growers formed the cooperative in

2000 to explore the feasibility of running Michigan

Sugar. They then obtained a $50,000 grant from the

Huron County Economic Development Corporation to

assist with attorney costs, as well as a $210,000 Rural

Business Enterprise Grant from USDA Rural

Development to conduct a feasibility study. Meanwhile,

however, Imperial Sugar filed for bankruptcy.

MSBG was able to negotiate a purchase agreement

with Imperial for Michigan Sugar. The sale was completed in February 2002 with the assistance of the

Rural Development grant. In the first year under

MSBG’s ownership, Michigan Sugar produced a record

amount of sugar, over 630 million pounds. The company also provides 350 full-time and over 1,000 part-time

jobs and contributes $180 million to the Michigan

economy.

From Farming to Pizza Crusts—

Oklahoma

Around Alva, Okla.., hard red winter wheat is the

make-or-break crop, and local producers were looking

for new markets. With the help of USDA Rural

Development, they are now marketing a wide variety

of dough and bread products made from locally

grown wheat.

Value Added Partners, Inc. (VAP) was formed by a

group of wheat producers looking for new business

opportunities. In 1999, VAP began an equity drive to

purchase a site for a frozen dough processing plant.

Producer response was strong, and VAP was able to

obtain a $7.5 million Business and Industry

Guaranteed Loan from Rural Development for the purchase of a site in Alva, Okla.. This was followed in

2001 by a $500,000 Value Added Producer Grant to

help market the product.

The processing plant now produces several types of

dough and bread products, including pizza crust, its

mainstay, and a frozen microwavable cinnamon roll,

its newest addition.

The operation has 80 full-time employees, and VAP

has recently launched its own trucking company to

handle shipping.

Rural Utilities

• Equal Access to Essential Services

• A Cleaner Environment

• Infrastructure for Growth

USDA Rural Development’s utility programs constitute

one of the most successful public initiatives in history

and continue to be a model of effective public-private

partnership. Through the provision of rural electrical,

telephone, and water systems, they played a decisive

role in bringing rural America into the modern age.

These services are as vital now as in the 1930s—

indeed, they are even more important today, in terms

of modern expectations and evolving lifestyles. In

addition, the advent of modern telecommunications

and broadband service has added an exciting and

urgent new dimension to the definition of critical

infrastructure.

Rural Development administers a growing utility portfolio, currently valued at over $41 billion, in loans and

loan guarantees for water, telecommunications, and

electrical infrastructure projects. This investment

affords all Americans unprecedented freedom of

choice in where to live, work, and raise a family. It

gives rural Americans a vastly higher quality of life. It

supports critical business development and opens the

door to greater economic opportunity to over 60 million people living in rural America. And it directly creates or saves jobs in rural America, over 155,000 in

2004 alone.

In addition to direct loans and loan guarantees, Rural

Development’s utility programs are able to provide

modest levels of grant assistance. Long a staple of the

Water and Environmental Programs, grant assistance

has recently been made available in the Telecommunications and Electric Programs as well. This allows

service to reach customers who might not otherwise be

able to afford these services. Grant dollars are typically

combined with loan assistance as a leveraging technique and are a key tool in improving the quality of

life for thousands of rural Americans.

Key Strategic Initiatives:

• Broadband

Rural Development has as one of its highest objectives

equal opportunity for rural areas: equal opportunity to

participate in the nation’s economic growth; to compete effectively in the global marketplace; and to enjoy

services fundamental to a modern quality of life.

Access to a seamless, nationwide telecommunications

network is essential, yet the availability of broadband

service in rural areas continues to lag significantly

behind comparable infrastructure investments in

urban areas.

The explosive growth of broadband creates a major

new program objective for Rural Development. In less

than a decade, broadband has moved from highly specialized applications to mass market acceptance.

As broadband becomes the Internet standard, it is rapidly becoming an essential business tool. Universal

access to broadband is a key objective of the Bush

Administration, and Rural Development has placed a

high priority on full implementation of its new broadband initiative. Since 2001, Rural Development has utilized a variety of loan and loan guarantee programs to

provide over $3 billion in funding and assist over 1.3

million rural subscribers in accessing new broadband

technologies.

• High Energy Cost Grant Program

Created by Congress in 2000, this program focuses on

pockets of exceptionally high home energy costs (over

275 percent of the national average). In the past 4

years, over $26 million has been awarded to improve

energy generation, transmission, and distribution facilities for exceptionally high-cost areas in 9 States.

Selected Programs: Overview

Water and Environmental Program (WEP)

WEP provides loans and grants to rural communities

and municipalities of 10,000 or less population for the

development, replacement, or upgrading of water and

waste disposal facilities. Applicants must be unable to

obtain sufficient credit from commercial sources at reasonable rates and terms.

Since the program’s inception in 1937, water and waste

disposal borrowers have received $29 billion in direct

loans, loan guarantees, and grants. With its current

loan portfolio of $8.2 billion, WEP continues to play a

major role in the development of rural areas. In FY

2004, WEP provided new or improved access to safe

drinking water or sanitary wastewater disposal for

965,780 customers.

Telecommunications

The Telecommunications Program has three major

components: loans for initial construction, improvement, or expansion of telecommunications infrastructure; loans and grants for distance learning and

telemedicine initiatives; and loans and grants for the

deployment of broadband service. These programs

make essential contributions to the economic vitality of

rural areas. They also enhance the educational and

health care services available in rural communities

across America:

Electric

The Electric Program is the largest of Rural

Development’s infrastructure programs, representing

$28.5 billion of the $41.1 billion in the current utility

loan portfolio. The mission today, as in 1936 when the

Rural Electrification Act was signed into law, is serving

low-density areas: Rural Development’s electric borrowers sell 5-7 percent of the kilowatt-hours sold in the

country but span 60 percent or more of the nation’s

land mass.

Nevada City, California

Nevada City is located on the western slope of the

Sierra Nevada mountain range not far from where the

first gold was discovered in California.

The city has a population of 3,000 and an annual

household income of $25,000. Its wastewater treatment

plant is under a cease and desist order from the

California Regional Water Quality Control Board.

Working with the Rural Development State Engineer,

the city’s consultant was able to design a plant

upgrade that would meet State requirements, work

within available funding limitations, and keep the

project affordable.

Rural Development approved a loan of $2.188 million and

a grant of $1 million. On Earth Day 2004 Rural

Development staff presented a ceremonial check to

Nevada City. The city is now completing the design of the

facility, with construction expected to begin in the spring.

North Dakota

SRT Communications, Inc. is a long time Rural

Development borrower. SRT helped to set up the connections whereby the North Dakota Center for Persons

with Disabilities in the city of Minot (population

35,000) provides telehealth and education training

services to disabled persons living in some of the

state’s most rural areas using the cooperatives’

advanced communications infrastructure.

In the first year that the Flatlands Disability Network

was developed, nearly 900 hours of speech/language

therapy were provided to 28 students living in some of

North Dakota’s most rural communities without subjecting them to the usual North Dakota “windshield” time.

The state’s information technology network relies on

the Dakota Carrier Network’s (DCN) fiber optic backbone. DCN is a company formed by 15 independent

telephone companies in North Dakota, most of which

are Rural Development borrowers. Dakota Carrier

Network was the recipient of a $5 million combination

loan/grant award in 2002.

Springerville and St. Johns, Arizona

Navopache Electric Cooperative (NEC) is headquartered in Lakeside, Arizona and recently completed

construction of two more photo voltaic arrays. Both of

these new renewable energy sources are connected to

“the grid” such that the power is integrated into NEC’s

power lines that serve all the members with electricity.

NEC currently is developing a tariff for renewable

energy that will enable members who choose to support development of renewable energy to purchase

“green power” as part of the monthly electric bill.

Financing by Rural Development’s Electric Program

helps this cooperative meet the requirements set by the

Arizona Corporation Commission for deploying

renewable

energy

resources

on its

power system.
