9th Fed Sees Some Farm Improvement
INANCIAL problems for area
farmers continue, but for the se­
cond quarter in a row they appear to
be easing somewhat, according to a
recent survey of rural banks con­
ducted by the Federal Reserve Bank
in Minneapolis. The survey results
are based on the responses of 89
bankers throughout rural areas of
Minnesota, Montana, North Dako­
ta, South Dakota, and northwestern
Wisconsin.
Fed economist Stanley L. Graham
reported that even though farm
earnings continued to decline in the
third quarter, they did so at a more
moderate pace. Nearly one-fourth of
the bankers said farm earnings in
their areas were actually greater
than a year ago. This was a tripling
of the proportion reporting greater
earnings in the second quarter. On
the other hand, about half the bank­
ers said third quarter farm earnings
were below those of a year ago.
The moderation in the decline,
Mr. Graham said, can be attributed,
in part, to lower fuel prices and in­
terest rates. Also, some parts of the
survey area, m ost notably Montana
and the western Dakotas, benefited
from a rise in livestock prices and a
drought-ending rain fall w hich
boosted crop yields.
Farmland values also declined at
a more moderate pace. The bankers
reported that, on average, the value

F

of irrigated farmland declined 3.8
percent; nonirrigated farmland, 4.4
percent; and pasture and grazing
land, 6.1 percent. The comparable
declines in the second quarter were
5.2 percent, 5.6 percent, and 7.9 per­
cent, respectively.
The Fed's survey also revealed
other signs of some improvement for
farmers. The percentage of bankers
reporting an above normal demand
to refinance farm loans dropped
nearly 20 percentage points in the
third quarter. In addition, fewer
farmers were forced to go out of
business or partially liquidate their
assets. A t the end of September the
bankers said that 3 percent of area
farmers went out of business for
reasons of financial stress in the last
six months; 4.1 percent did so dur­
ing the previous six months.
Mr. Graham cautioned, however,
that financial problems remain
serious in m ost areas. Farm debt
repayment was still slow at nearly a
third of the banks and fast at only
16 percent. Refinancing demand was
greater than normal at more than a
third of the banks and less than nor­
mal at just 5 percent.
D espite the recent signs of easing,
m ost of the bankers responding to
the Fed’s survey do not expect much
improvement for the fourth quarter.
The only widely held optim istic view
is that interest rates will decline fur­

ther by the end of the year. Mr. Gra­
ham noted, though, that another
possible cause for optimism has ap­
peared since the survey was taken:
the new acreage diversion program
for feed grains announced by the
USD A in late October. The program
will start to bring farmers advance
payments in the fourth quarter. □

First Stock Yards Bank of St.
Joseph, Mo., was closed November 7
by the Missouri Commissioner of Fi­
nance, and was sold by the FDIC for
a $403,000 premium to The Bank of
St. Joseph. First Stock Yards had
about $30 million in assets. The
Bank of St. Joseph will put in $2.2
million capital and is purchasing
other assets of $20.7 million. The
FDIC is advancing $11 million to
The Bank of St. Joseph and is re­
taining $8 million in assets.
On the same date, the Missouri
department closed The Home Bank
of Savannah in the north St. Joseph
suburbs. It had about $39.5 million
in assets. United Missouri Bancshares paid the FDIC a $560,000
premium for the $39.5 million asset
institution and has re-opened it as a
branch.
First Stock Yards Bank and The
Home Bank both are remnants of
First M idwest Bancorp., whose
principal bank, First National Bank
of St. Joseph, failed in October,
1985.
