Farm Crisis Plan Is Outlined By Minnesota Bankers
10-POINT PROGRAM to help
farmers survive the current eco­
A
nomic crisis was outlined January
18 by a Minnesota Bankers Associa­
tion agricultural task force. The
plan, presented by task force chair­
man Les Peterson, calls for a combi­
nation of state and federal actions to
address both short and long-term
needs of farmers.
Main short-term goals are to
make needed credit available to
farmers quickly and at less cost, and
to provide means for farmers who
still have sufficient equity to lower
their debt-to-assets ratios. Long­
term, the goal is to encourage a more
favorable national economic climate
in which efficient farmers can expect
to make reasonable profits.
“One major burden on farmers is
high interest rates,” pointed out Mr.
Peterson, who is president of the
Farmers State Bank, Trimont. That
problem is best solved by reducing
the federal deficit, he said, and most
of that action needs to come from
Congress and the administration.
“But, help can also be provided at
the state level,” said Mr. Peterson.
“Minnesota bankers Eire willing to
help reduce interest rates to finan­
cially stressed borrowers by writing
down interest rates. But it wants
the state to also share in this inter­
est reduction by matching the MBA
action.”
The major point of the task force

Comprehensive Action Program is:
• Support of the Communicating
for Agriculture debt modification
proposal.
This proposal, which was endorsed
by MBA two weeks earlier is de­
signed to address credit needs of dis­
tressed farm borrowers who do not
qualify for existing Farmers Home
Administration programs. It calls
for partial loan guarantees, debt
restructuring and the lender-shared
interest reduction plan.
“The CA debt modification plan
will also require federal action,” said
Mr. Peterson. Initiation towards
such action has already been started.
Members of the task force met with
Minnesota Senator Rudy Boschwitz
earlier in the week to ask that he
begin exploring ways to get the
modification plan implemented by
the Farmers Home Administration.
Other points of the comprehen­
sive plan include:
• A joint state-private lender farm
operating loan interest subsidy pro­
gram.
“Such a joint cooperative effort
would make credit available to a seg­
ment of distressed farm borrowers
who would not otherwise qualify for
credit because of cash flow con­
straints,” pointed out Mr. Peterson.
“In addition, such a program would
not disrupt the basic credit system,
nor depend entirely on a federal ini­
tiative.”

“This could help those farmers,
whose debt-to-assets ratio ranges
between 40% and 70%, obtain oper­
ating loans to get their crops
planted this spring,” added Truman
Jeffers, MBA executive vice presi­
dent. To make the interest reduction
program large enough to provide
significant help to needy farmers,
there also needs to be immediate ac­
tion at the federal level, he added.
“The task force is asking that
Congress, the Department of Agri­
culture and other sectors of the Ad­
ministration, together with the Fed­
eral Credit Service and similar agen­
cies join with MBA in seeking imme­
diate solutions,” continued Mr. Jef­
fers. “That has been one major goal
of our task force since its origin — to
seek coordinated efforts at both
state and federal levels to get im­
mediate action on this very critical
problem.”
If state short-term proposals are
not accompanied by long-term fed­
eral proposals, the effect will be lit­
tle more than trying to heal a gaping
wound with a bandaid,” added Mr.
Peterson.
• Acceptance of the voluntary
120-day foreclosure grace period,
but on a qualified basis.
As a matter of principle, the MBA
believes a moratorium on remedies
for collection of legal debts will re­
duce the availability of credit and
tend to disrupt the basic credit

system. Nevertheless, the MBA
would not oppose the voluntary
120-day grace period proposal called
for in Senate File 54. However, it
must be understood that under that
proposal, availability of 1985 farm
operating loans to distressed farm­
ers depends on a federal credit debt
reduction program. Furthermore,
the MBA believes that the dollars
allocated in Senate File 54 could be
put to more effective and immediate
use by funding a joint state-lender
farm operating loan interest reduc­
tion program, such as proposed
above.
• Additional property tax relief
for farm and agricultural lands.
Also, action by the legislature to
eliminate or reduce sales taxes on
farm machinery and equipment.

• Enactment of legislation to fa­
cilitate injection of equity capital
into farming operations, such as the
recently announced limited partner­
ship proposal. MBA agrees with
Governor Perpich that other types
of equity capital programs should be
considered.
• Amendment of state and federal
tax laws to provide capital gains tax
relief to those forced to liquidate
their farm or business operations.
• Reconsideration by federal and
state financial institution regula­
tory agencies of their practice of ar­
bitrarily writing down the value of
farm land and machinery which
forces lenders to foreclose or repos­
sess property of a farm borrower
who has otherwise kept his pay­
ments current.
• A feasibility study of an emer­
gency state bonding program which
could make more funds available for
farm operating loans at lower inter­
est rates.
On a longer-term basis, the MBA
believes a combination of higher
crop prices and lower interest rates
is the only permanent solution to the
crisis in rural America. As a part of
its comprehensive action plan, the
MBA, therefore, urges Congress to:
• Substantially reduce the federal
budget deficit this year. And to
change the “cheap food” policy
which has driven farm prices to 55%
of parity.
“Taking these actions will lower
interest rates, bring the value of the
dollar into line with the currencies of
our foreign trading partners, create
overseas markets for American agri­
cultural products and improve farm
prices,” pointed out Mr. Jeffers.
There are other actions MBA task
force members feel can be taken to
alleviate Minnesota’s farm problem.
One is additional professional assis­
tance for farmers on financial and
stress management.
MBA recommends th at both
state government and the private
sector support a University of Min­

nesota Agricultural Extension Ser­
vice program called “Project Sup­
port” by making funds available to
hire additional staff for one-on-one
family counseling. Project Support
provides counseling assistance for
families leaving farming for non- far­
ming careers, for families who need
help analyzing short-term financial
problems and for families needing
long-term financial planning to help
their family farms remain economic­
ally healthy in the future.
MBA task force members propose
Minnesota foundations and private
banking interests match state con­
tributions to make qualified person­
nel available to the Extension Ser­
vice as needed.
In its final Comprehensive Action
point, the MBA intends to:
• Initiate a more intensive cam­
paign by which farmers, rural com­
munities, businesses and others in
agribusiness can communicate their
concerns to Congress and state leg­
islators, and to urge enactment of
the MBA Comprehensive Action
Program.
The task force has already con­
tacted some 50 Minnesota farm or­
ganizations, commodity groups,
state and national banking associa­
tions to invite their ideas on how
best to address the crisis on a total
basis.

AMES: A plan was announced here
January 23 to merge University
Bank & Trust Co. with Union Story
Trust & Savings Bank to create a
new bank with deposits of approx­
imately $115 million. Larry Wenzl,
chairman and president of Union
Story and former chairman and
president of University B&T, said
the latter bank will acquire the
assets and assume the liabilities of
Union Story. The application for the
consolidation has been filed with the
state superintendent of banking, but
a name for the new bank has not yet
been revealed. The resulting bank
would operate from the present
main office of Union Story, while the
present headquarters of University
B&T wil be an office, although
staffed with senior officers. Univer­
sity B&T is owned by Great
Midwest Financial Co., whose major
shareholder is Richard O. Jacobson.
Mr. Wenzl and Mr. Jacobson
teamed up to buy Union Story last
September. The third bank in Ames
is First National, founded in 1903
and reporting $115 million deposits
last summer.
DANBURY: Steven Cloud has been
appointed president of the Farmers
Saving Bank. Mr. Cloud, former
bank vice president and loan officer,
succeeds Paul Gahan, who retired as
president January 15 after 39 years
with the bank. Mr. Cloud has been
with Farmers Savings nine years.
Also announced, was the election of
Phebe M. Treiber as vice president
and casher and the hiring of Martin
Weber as loan officer. Ms. Treiber
has been with the bank since 1951.
