Bankers See Farm Econom y at Bottom
AN Y Upper Midwest bankers
think the farm economy is ap
p roa ch in g the
bottom, accord
ing to a recent
survey taken by
Norwest Corpo
ration, Minnea
polis.
Two-thirds of
the more than
800 bankers re
sponding to the
DR. SOHN
survey said they
do not expect further deterioration
in the farm economy. The regional
economic survey is taken twice a
year by Norwest economists and
brings responses from bankers in
Minnesota, North and South Da
kota, Iowa, Nebraska, Montana and
Wisconsin. Results of the survey
were released May 15 in Economic
Indicators, a bi-monthly publication
of the Norwest economics depart
ment.
According to Dr. Sung Won Sohn,
chief economist for Norwest Corpo
ration, 60 percent of the bankers an
ticipate little change in overall eco
nomic conditions during the next six
to 12 months, and another seven
percent anticipate improvement.
One-third o f the bankers expect fur
ther deterioration.
Dr. Sohn said this is a more posi
M
tive appraisal than was given in a
Norwest survey taken last fall and
represents the first upturn in the ag
bankers’ confidence since October,
1983, when the PIK program boosted
crop prices.
They point to the positive impact
on farm earnings of lower costs of
fuel, fertilizer, cash rent and inter
est. Bankers also indicated that
farmers who carry little or no debt
are making a comfortable living and
reported that investors and financially-sound farmers are showing
more interest in buying farm land.
“ The most positive responses in
the agricultural sector came from
bankers in Wisconsin, where strong
dairy producers are still turning a
profit, and from eastern North Da
kota, where the area is aided by pro
fitable sugar prices and the presence
of other specialty crops,” Dr. Sohn
said.
Optimism also was expressed by
bankers in the Twin Cities and in
northeastern Minnesota. The survey
indicates that bankers in Minneapo
lis and St. Paul anticipate relatively
healthy economic conditions to con
tinue. Bankers in northeastern Min
nesota, as well as northwestern Wis
consin, think the local economy has
b o tto m e d ou t and an ticip ate
im proving econom ic conditions.
Lower gasoline prices are expected
to spur tourism.
In the Twin Cities, bankers rated
local economic conditions “ good to
very good” and are optimistic about
the prospects for the balance of the
year, Dr. Sohn said. Nearly twothirds of the Twin Cities’ bankers
expect overall conditions to remain
near current levels, while the re
mainder anticipates a pick-up in
both consumer and business spend
ing, resulting in a stronger economy.
Twin Cities employment is cur
rently 10 percent higher than the
peak reached before the 1981-82 re
cession, a stronger performance
than the national average. Accord
ing to Dr. Sohn, the fastest growing
sectors in the metro area include
construction, transportation, retail
trade, finance, insurance and real
estate. He said that, although the
computer industry has been in a
temporary slump, a recovery is anti
cipated in the near future.
“ Introduction of new products, a
weaker dollar and completion of the
inventory correction all point to
stronger computer sales,” Dr. Sohn
said.
Economic conditions also remain
relatively healthy in most other ur
ban centers throughout the region,
including St. Cloud, Rochester,
Sioux Falls, Fargo, Omaha and Des
Moines, the economist said.
