Regional Agricultural Credit Corp. v. Hendley

STAKELY, Justice.

In 1943 the United States Department of Agriculture through the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation of Washington, D. C., a corporation (appellant) undertook to stimulate the production of certain crops, including peanuts, in connection with the war effort. The plan was to provide financing through loans to farmers who had land and facilities for producing such crops. The actual processing of the loans was delegated to the respective County War Boards of the United States Department of Agriculture, in this case the County War Board of Bullock County.
