Vol. 16 No. 39 January 11,1988 Des Moines, Iowa Secondary Market Is Now Law! " PPONENTS and critics of the Farm Credit system rescue bill, which also includes authorization to set up a secondary market for farm ^ real estate loans, had said many ^ months ago “it would be a cold day before the President signs such a bill!” They were right. The nation’s capital was experiencing freezing ^ winter temperatures at noon on ^ January 6 when President Reagan signed into law the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987. His signature had been awaited ever since the £ House and Senate gave final ap proval to the conference committee * bill a week before Christmas, f lj f The American Bankers Associa^ ^ tio n news release issued immedi0 ately following that signing was ap propriately titled, “ABA Wins Big Victory on Agricultural Financing.’’ IBAA issued similar enthusiastic words hailing the formation of the ▲ secondary market that the two ' organizations had united behind for many months. The ABA release stated: “The ABA calls a secondary mar0 ket for agricultural mortgages a great victory for farmers, ranchers and agricultural lenders. Michael E. Fitch, chairman of the ABA Secon dary Market Task Force and vice 0 president for agribusiness affairs at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., San Fran cisco, said, ‘This clearly shows what can be accomplished when bankers unite behind an issue that is so beneficial for the farm borrower. That is why we had widespread sup port and why the legislation is now a reality.’ ” The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 has several key elements, in cluding the principal Titles relating to the extension of up to $4 billion of Treasury funds to bail out the Farm Credit System. Among those other elements of the bill are two that especially mean good news for bank ers. Title VII provides for the forma tion of the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation and its secon dary market for farm real estate loans, while another section deals with some important changes man dated for Farmers Home Adminis tration policies. IBAA, which had teamed with ABA and other banking groups for many months to get the secondary market feature included in the FCS rescue bill, gave its members a de tailed review recently of the “Farmer Mac” secondary market provisions. As announced earlier, the final bill that went to President Reagan for signature calls for FAMC to have a nine-member temporary board—three from FCS, three from banks, insurance companies and other lenders, and three appointed by the President, with the chairman appointed from the latter three by FirsTier Correspondent Services the President. When $20 million of stock is sold by the new organiza tion, a permanent 15-member board will be appointed—five from Class A stockholders (banks, etc.), five from Class B (FCS) and five from the gen eral public appointed by the Presi dent, one of the latter being named chairman. FAMC will develop all standards and underwriting procedures, in cluding rules for approving loan poolers. The maximum for an indivi dual farm real estate loan is the higher of $2.5 million or a loan for the purchase of up to 1,000 acres of land. Rural housing mortgages must be for a purchase price of $ 100,000 or less in towns of 2,500 or less. The reed estate loans will be sold by originating institutions without recourse and they may retain servic ing on the loans. The originating institutions and the poolers must maintain in combination a 10 per cent loss reserve and they can deter mine between themselves how this 10 percent is made up between them. The Treasury provides a $1.5 billion loan guaranty, but it can be accessed only if the FAMC loss re serve fund runs out. FAMC is obli gated to guarantee to investors that they will receive their interest and principal. One part of the final package that was not to the liking of banks was language stating the Farmer Mac securities may not be traded as gov ernment securities but as corporate More of what it takes to serve you well. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ = S ^ B ^ F ir sT ie i:B a n k s é https://fraser.stlouisfed.org FirsTier Bank, N.A., Lincoln and FirsTier Bank, N.A., Omaha, Members FDIC Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Lincoln • Omaha Norwest Bank Des Moines, N.A.

Hansen, CCP Mark Conway John Rigler HAMILTON ASSOCIATES securities, which means they have to be registered with the SEC. ABA and IBAA expressed concern that this would jack up the final rate to farm customers, but a clause was in cluded authorizing review of the SEC requirement if this makes the secondary market instruments non competitive. The part of the new bill relating to revision of FmHA activities is im portant to community banks. It pro vides for more timely loss payment by FmHA, as well as expanded guaranteed-pool lending. Paul Lindholm, chairman of the ABA Ag Bankers Division and president and CEO of Farmers & Merchants State Bank of Clarkfield, Minn., stated, “As agricultural bankers, we wel- come these provisions of the bill relative to improving the efficiency of a secondary market for FmHA guaranteed loans. This will benefit farmers and their lenders by making the FmHA guaranteed loàns more attractive." ABA said the timely-payment re quirement in or out of bankruptcy will encourage broader lender parti cipation in the guaranteed loan pro gram. Writedowns on loans may be initiated only by lenders, and the agency must make prompt payment of any losses incurred by the lender and provide for review if a lender’s request is denied. The bill requires continuation of and streamlining of procedures for FmHA’s practice of permitting its loan guarantees to be sold on a seconary market. It will also allow pooling of guaranteed por tions of smaller loans. The Senate Ag Committee said it expects FmHA to develop a secondary mar ket for guaranteed loans like the market administered by the SBA. The FmHA would be responsible to investors for any shortage on pay ment of principal and interest on the pool certificates. □ Io w a N e w s Terry Martin MNB Correspondent Banker Tbgether We Can Accomplish Great Things DES MOINES: At Hawkeye Bank & Trust of Des Moines, Loree R.
