S.1165 early this week and pass it
along to the full com m ittee for quick
approval and then to the Senate
floor for early action. S.1165 is the
Senate version o f H .R. 3030, which
the House passed earlier this month
by the overwhelming m ajority of
365-49. Both bills would refinance
the ailing Farm Credit System and
also contain a section (Title III in
H.R. 3030) that authorizes form ing
a farm real estate m ortgage secon­
dary market.
H .R. 3030 was passed only after
Commerce Chairman John Dingell
exacted concessions that some ob­
servers feel hamper the effective­
ness o f the secondary market.
However, Ed Yingling, A B A ’s ex­
ecutive director o f governm ent rela­
tions, said the legislation is “ A giant
step into the modern age o f agricul­
tural finance. It will bring many of
the benefits o f the secondary hous­
ing market to farm communities.
Farmers will enjoy lower loan rates,
and fixed-rate, long-term m ortgages
will once again be a reality.
“ Lenders will benefit by being
able to diversify their risks. And,
the increased liquidity provided by
Farmer M ac will enable lenders to
provide more loans to the farming
community.
“ W e are pleased the Senate ag

1RS Does Reversal on P IK Tax Date
HE IRS reversed itself on the
taxable year for PIK-and-roll
certificates when it ruled on October
13 that a farmer owes tax on the
grain only in the year in which the
grain is actually sold, not when the
certificate is used to redeem his com ­
m odity loan. Last year, USD A ruled
the redemption with PIK s consti­
tuted a “ sale,” but later reversed
itself after numerous consultations
with farmer, banker and related
groups.
The IRS, however, continued to
maintain the previous position, and
ruled on March 2 this year that in­
come from PIK transactions was
taxable the day the corn was re­
deemed, and not the day it was sold.
Traditionally, taxes had been based
on when grain actually was sold.
PIK s were issued in lieu o f cash sub­
sidies under existing federal farm
programs.
Rep. Fred Grandy (R., Ia.) went
into great detail on the battle to
overturn the IRS ruling when he ad­
dressed the Iow a Independent
Bankers convention in July. He
helped lead the House fight. Neb­

m ost banks are capitalized, so it’s an
attribute, and not a detrim ent.”
Both A B A and IB A A , who have
joined forces with other financial
groups to support the legislation,

expressed hope that the Senate, if it
persists in putting a ceiling on loan
volume for Farmer Mac, will set the
cap high enough to allow the new
organization to serve fully the loan
demand.
Mr. Barton said it is difficult to
accurately assess the potential
volume, but did point out that
IB A A research shows that farm real
estate loans in banks have increased
from $8.9 billion in June, 1983, to
$14.1 billion in June, 1987, up $5 bil­
lion. “ Refinancing and turnover of
ownership loans would amount to
about $20 billion,” Mr. Barton esti­
mates. “ W ith the $5 billion growth,
and a percentage reflecting $7.5
billion of other financing, perhaps
we are dealing with a $12 to $13 bil­
lion pent-up demand, so we’d like to
see the cap initially high enough to
accommodate the larger start-up de­
mand.”
