Good News, Bad News of Agriculture
H E R E ’S good news and bad
I news,” was the message
given by Dr. Michael Boehlje to
bankers attending the 96th annual
convention of the Minnesota Bank­
ers Association at the Radisson St.
Paul Hotel June 2-4. Dr. Boehlje is
head of the department of ag econo­
mics in the College of Agriculture at
the University of Minnesota, St.
Paul, a position he assumed at the
start of the past school year after
teaching at Iowa State University
for many years.
Dr. Boehlje identified five points
concerning financial stress and iden­
tifying stress:
1.15-20% of farmers are in suffici­
ent trouble that they’ll have to exit
farming or recycle. Iowa is the high­
est of nine states in the area with

ness firms are in equally severe trou­

concerned about them as they are
farm borrowers.
3. A study completed as recently
as two weeks ago shows significant
community stress. Some property
tax delinquencies have doubled—
Nebraska’s is up seven times—repre­
senting an 18% decline o f income to
the community from agriculture.
