Elroy Hoffman's and Madge May's Experience with FSA
Madge May and her husband borrowed money from the the FSA in the 1930s. The FSA taught them as well as many other people the basics of modern bookkeeping. From the loan they borrowed they were able to keep their farm and build up the many businesses they started. Madge started selling her chickens she raised while her husband began a feed franchise. Her husband then started a propane gas delivery business. Due to the help of FSA loan and their teaching the May's with book keeping their businesses grew and Madge became the head bookkeeper for a high-end clothing store.
