(Continued from page 1) resulted in the sale of 346,853 acres worth $135,559, 174, an average of $390.82 per acre. The aggressive marketing efforts have resulted in an average selling price of 102% of appraised value. The Farm Credit System Capital Corporation (Capital Corporation) is the national organization authorized by Congress to manage non-accrual loans, manage and sell acquired pro perty, and to channel funds to finan cially stressed banks in the Farm Credit System. “ We originally anticipated sales activity would slacken in April after the federal farm program sign-up deadlines had passed in March, and as spring field work got underway; this has not materialized. Sales acti vity remains brisk,” said Don Korkow, Capital Corporation vice presi dent-acquired property. “ The rate of property coming into inventory is lower than expected. Last year’s excellent crops and gov ernment farm program s have pumped a lot of money into agricul ture. And, I suspect the significant restructuring efforts of the Omaha District have kept more farmers on their farm,” Mr. Korkow added. In Iowa, Eastern Nebraska and Eastern South Dakota, higher quali ty crop lands have sold exceptional ly well. Some areas have reported a five to eight percent increase in sell ing prices. This is expected to have a “ cost-tail” effect on marginal pro perties. In the Western part of the Dis trict (Western Nebraska, Western South Dakota, and Wyoming), larger ranch properties sales are starting to pick up. Livestock eco nomics are extremely favorable right now. However, field personnel® report that some prospective buyers continue to concentrate on return on investment; but are looking at money market rates for comparable return on investment, rather than® historical rates of return for the type of land and production. Most sales of Farm Credit System acquired property are being sold to_ people within local communities or® people who have had a connection to it. Seventy-two percent of buyers buy for farming purposes; twentyfour percent of buyers buy for in-^ vestment purposes (including farm ers, retired farmers, local business people and investors) and four per cent of sales are rural home pur chases. Seventy-six percent are easily purchases, including cash generated^ by loans. Acquired properties represent as sets of the stockholders of the mem ber-owned Farm Credit System. Pro -0 ceeds from the sale of property arew used to retire debts and obligations of the member institutions and re duce operating expenses. Regional listings of properties for0 sale in the four-state district (Wyoming, Nebraska, South Da kota, and Iowa) are available by call ing a toll-free telephone number 1-800-367-9780 (in Nebraska 1-800-0 422-5568). Similar listings are avail able in Farm Credit Services offices and through the Capital Corporation office in each region. □ A Meeting O f The Minds.
