Double Jeopardy Deadline Nears
NLESS Congress takes some
U
remedial action in the next five
months, the farm credit exception
will disappear from the Uniform
Commercial Code on December 24.
Under this UCC exception, ag lend­
ers have had their security interests
in crops and livestock protected by
having their lien follow the title if a
sale is made. Bankers may lose any
opportunity for amendment or delay
if they do not make their views
known to Congress now.
A “ Clear Title Coalition” of 18 na­
tional farm buyer and marketing
groups, plus 154 supporting state
groups from 28 states joined forces
in the past several years to persuade
Congress to remove the exemption
as part of the Food Security A ct of
1985. The American Bankers Asso­
ciation and the Independent Bank­
ers Association of America were
among the few who opposed removal
of the exemption, but lost their bat­
tle.
Section 1324 of the A ct permits
lenders the option of pre-notification
of potential buyers whose names are
furnished by the borrower, or pro­
vides that a central filing system
may be set up in a state if that
system is accredited by the USD A.
This “ double jeopardy” topic, as
it is popularly known, was one of the
several key pieces of legislation re­
viewed July 15 at the Agricultural
Banking Outlook Seminar during

the A B A ’s National Agricultural Congress, there have been no credit

“ To reopen Sec. 1324 is unneces­
mit individual states to create cen­
tral filing systems that will be accre­ sary and premature.”
Mr. Jesser gave seminar atten­
dited by USD A. It is hoped that at
least a one-year extension will be dees a realistic assessment of the
number of days still available to

CLARISSA: The Farmers State
Bank was closed Friday, July 11, by
the state banking department, and
was re-opened Monday, July 14, as a
branch of the First State Bank of
Rush City. It was the nation’s 69th
bank failure for 1986 and Minne­
sota’s second for the year. First
State Bank paid FDIC a $45,019
premium to assume the failed bank’s
$15.9 million in deposits. For the
second time, FDIC issued a note re­
ceivable (this one for $7.8 million)
bearing 7.5% interest. This proce­
dure was used for the first time
when FDIC sold the failed Commer­
cial State Bank in Pocahontas, la.,
on June 27 (July 14 Weekly News­
letter lead story). First State gets
immediate earnings on the note and
may reduce it by $1 million incre­
ments if it chooses to invest in loans
or other assets. The note is payable
to First State Bank in one year.
