Vol. 7 No. 6____________________ Des M oines, Iowa Discuss Farm Credit Outlook Inflation, coupled with declining farm income, has affected farmers to the extent that only top notch farm operators will be able to increase their equity in the months ahead. This is the unanimous opinion of agricultural bankers from midAmerica who participated in an Agricultural Credit Outlook Semi nar for news media, sponsored in Memphis by the Agricultural Bankers Division of the American Bankers Association (ABA). The 120-horse power tractor purchased for $12-14,000 in 1973 now costs $24-28,000. Farm land values have increased from $800$1,000 an acre in 1973 to $1,800$2,500 today, with cash rent going from $40-$75 an acre to $105 an acre now. These are just a few of the increases cited by Edward J. Leahy, president of Northwestern State Bank, Orange City, Iowa, and one of five panelists who took part in the ABA Seminar. “The end result is that farmers and farm related businesses are borrowing more money to produce the same acres of crops with the not-too-bright prospect of receiving substantial increases in their per bushel, per bale, per pound sale of farm commodities,” stated panel moderator Marlin D. Jackson, chairman and president of Security Bank, Paragould, Ark. Question Cash Flow “Adversity beyond control,” is how James R. Eatherly, president of the First National Bank, Tonkawa, Okla., labeled the situation. “Where will capital come from to finance the future farmers?” he questioned. “Cash flow is rapidly becoming a forgotten term.” “Agriculture has an appetite for credit,” observed John H. Hem bree, senior vice president of Union Planters Bank, Memphis, “how ever, the farmer can’t borrow himself out of debt.” “I fear that some people may get themselves extended to where the decline in the price of agricultural products, a recession of any sort, bad crops for two or three years in a row. . .could cause them to be in extreme financial difficulty,” he said. A. Earl Fort, senior vice president of the Grant County June 5,1978 State Bank, Ulysses, Kans., noted that the effects of unprofitable aspects of farming were felt in the Kansas area a year before formal strike activity began by the American Agricultural Movement. And, he said, declining farm income hurts most other related businesses. “The cash flows of implement dealers, grocery stores, clothing stores, freight carriers, advertising collections, and many other busi nesses have felt the dramatic effects of weakened repayment capacities of the producer,” Mr. Fort observed. “It simply costs more to produce food than a farmer has been receiving. This anguish is the reason the voice of agriculture was sounded in market and political circles.” Farm Strike The panelists agreed that much good has come from the American Agricultural Movement. “Many consumers are thinking for the first time that whoever produces the meat, milk or fiber which they consume also has to make a living,” said Memphis banker Hembree. He acknowledged that while there was talk of farmers not planting, by spring the farmers who were most vocal as members of this movement were getting ready to plant crops. “The real problems that brought about the farm strike and the CREDIT OUTLOOK . . .

[Cont. from page 1] negative cash flow position were the results of supply and demand,” said Mr. Jackson. “Either through legislative pro grams or self-constraint, the American farmer must limit his production to that amount that will be absorbed by our domestic and foreign markets at prices that permit a reasonable profit,” Jackson said. “The balance of produc tion over domestic and foreign usage is the real challenge to farmers, the Congress, and the Administration.” Other subjects discussed by the panel included: * Farmers Home Administration [FmHA] —FmHA has been a “tremendous help,” though a lot of its effectiveness has to do with the effectiveness of local FmHA officers. * Correspondent Banking Rela tionships — Moving money from the money center banks to rural/agricultural communities is a critical need. They said the finance needs of third world countries should be balanced against the need to make money available to American farm borrowers. • Foreign Investors — More foreign investors have come from Western Europe than from oil producing countries, but foreign investment in the United States does not present any problem. Most farmland sold is bought by nearby farm operators, who are paying “outlandish prices.” The question is: who is to say who can buy and sell and to whom? • Interest and Inflation — Bankers predict that the average interest rate for farm production loans will soon top nine percent. The rate of inflation will go to IV 2 %, higher than predicted by the Administration, they said. • The Young Farmer — Inflation has almost frozen out young farmers, who are more highly leveraged than older farmers. Regardless of his source of financial assistance, the young farmer has to be a super efficient producer and an even more efficient money planner and manager. One poor decision can result in an economic setback that could put him out of business. • Banker-Farmer Relationships — Every possible avenue is being used to assist farmers caught in the “low income situation.” Bankers are spending a lot more time with their farm customers, figuring budgets, cash flows and projec tions, as well as restructuring and extending terms of loans to help them stay in business. It is common for agricultural bankers to inspect the customer’s farm opera tion personally. Both banker and farmer are benefiting from this relationship. The urgency expressed by the bankers toward the current farm credit situation does not diminish their optimism for the future. “We will see the size of farms become larger and larger,” pre dicted Mr. Hembree, and agricul tural production will continue to increase. “There will be ups and downs of prices, but agriculture will continue to enjoy prices for its products which will make people good livings, and they will continue to enlarge their holding.” North Dakota News FARGO: The Fed has approved North Dakota Bancshares acquisi tion of 85% or more of stock of The Fargo Nat’l. Bk. & Tr. Co. TOWNER: Deposit insurance for the State Bank of Towner has been approved by the FDIC, effective June 1. Le Roy Gilbertson, commissioner of banking and finance in North Dakota, stated earlier the state banking board would meet prior to that date and issue an order allowing the freeze on deposits in the bank to be lifted simultaneously with the June 1 FDIC coverage. The State Bank of Towner was chartered and opened in January, 1977 to succeed the uninsured Pioneer State Bank of Towner, which had been closed by the state authorities. James Willi ams, an attorney in New Rockford and director of banks in Westhope and Devils Lake, has been president of State Bank since its opening. He said the new bank has progressed well and has exceeded all requirements of the FDIC and state authorities. Colorado News DENVER: Five staff members of the First N at’l.

Sure, suppose you are a business or professional man or farmer, and your equipment is free and clear," or at least you have a good equity in it. You are "loaned up" at the bank, but you need cash now for a good inventory buy, to carry additional receivables, or for any worthwhile purpose. If your cash flow will carry the rental payments, then consider a Leaseback. .... You simply "sell" all or part of your equipment to the Leasing Company (if you still owe on it we will pay it off), and we in turn lease if back to you at a rental figure in keeping with your cash flow.
