1. The authority may issue certificates of guaranty covering a first loss guarantee up to but not more than fifty percent of the loan on a declining principal basis for loans to individuals executing a note or other evidence of a loan made for livestock feed and crop input, but not to exceed the amount of one hundred thousand dollars for any one individual and to pay from the livestock feed and crop input loan guarantee fund to an eligible lender up to fifty percent of the amount on a declining principal basis of any loss on any guaranteed loan made under the provisions of sections 348.515 to 348.533, in the event of default on the loan. Upon payment of the loan, the authority shall be subrogated to all the rights of the eligible lender.

2. As used in sections 348.515 to 348.533, the term “eligible lender” means those entities defined as lenders under subdivision (8) of section 348.015.

In addition, the authority may charge a special loan guarantee fee of up to one percent per annum of the outstanding principal which shall be collected from the borrower by the lender and paid to the authority. Amounts so collected shall be deposited in the livestock feed and crop input loan program fund and used, upon appropriation, to pay the costs of administering the program.
