The Jewish Agricultural Society has granted about $11,500,000 in loans to Jewish farmers in the United States since its founding in 1900, it is revealed by Dr. Gabriel Davidson, managing director, in the Society’s animal report, which was issued today.
The report shows that Jewish farmers in the United States are making steady progress. It stresses the Society’s efforts to establish on farms ex-servicemen, displaced Jewish immigrants to the United States, workers, white-collar men and others who look to farming both as a means of livelihood and a more desirable way of life.
