Commentaries: Art. 85

Money repaid on loans is used by the cantonal authorities for new loans to farmers.
Interest paid is used, in the following order, for:
1. covering administrative costs;
2. covering losses incurred in granting loans;
3. further loans to farmers.
If the amounts repaid and interest accruing to the cantonal authorities exceed the amount required, the FOAG may:
1. claim the Confederation’s share back and pass it on to another canton; or
2. make the Confederation’s share of unused funds available to the canton for investment loans.¹
