Land Bank Sets New Loan Rates
By BEN HALLER, JR.
Publisher
FOUR-TIERED interest rate
A structure
announced August 27
by the Federal Land Bank of Omaha
offers qualified borrowers in Nebras­
ka, South Dakota, Wyoming and
Iowa a range of risk-based rates
from 10.5% to 12.75%. The rates are
effective October 1 for current bor­
rowers, and September 2 for new
borrowers. These rates apply to
long-term loans. A similar interest
rate program became effective for
PCA borrowers July 1.
The individual loan pricing pro­
gram has four interest rate classifi­
cations: AAA -10.5%, AA -11.25%,
A - 12.25%, and B - 12.75%. An
Omaha Land Bank spokesman from
the public affairs office said 12.75%
will be the highest rate charged any
borrower, the rate which has been in
effect since March 1, 1986.
Land Bank borrowers will receive
an additional .25 percent reduction
from their new individual rates if
they use the PCA of the Midlands as
their primary lender for short or in­
termediate-term credit.
The Land Banks are precluded by
law from going into the market to
sell new debentures at today’s lower
rates unless they can show the
money is needed to meet anticipated
new loan demand. Consequently, the

current average cost of borrowed
funds has kept the Land Banks’ top
rate as high or higher than those ob­
tainable by farm borrowers from
local commercial banks, the tradi­
tional short-term and production
lender.
Two long-time ag lenders con­
tacted by the N o r t h w e s t e r n
B a n k e r said the move to tiered
rates has been needed by the land
bank but is late. One banker stated,
“I t ’s a step in the right direction,
and we’re pleased with it, but I ’d
say it’s a little late. Some of their
better customers have found new
lenders, and at a better rate. We’ve
had some good ones come in here
and I know other bankers who have
told me they’ve had good Land
Bank customers now come back into
their shops. Basically, we’re offering
better loans to some good customers
of ours. They’ve been with us for
their short-term, production type
loans for years, and now they’ve
turned away from their Land Bank
loans because they were grouped
with all the Land Bank’s loan prob­
lems and they got a better deal from
us.”
That banker said he is making 20year amortized land loans at threeto-five year variable rates. Rates at
his bank currently are 10% for a
loan of 50% to appraised value, and
11% for two-thirds to appraised
value. Both bankers pointed out

September 1,1986

that Land Bank borrowers must
also figure in the cost of their 5%
stock they’re obligated to buy when
determining a true lending rate. For
a borrower paying the B rate of
12.75%, the actual Land Bank an­
nual rate then becomes 13.42%. For
a AAA borrower at the new rate of
10.5%, the actual interest rate then
becomes 11%.
Another banker said, “It appears
th at they’re formalizing what has
been local bank lending criteria for
some years (owner equity, current
and intermediate position, payment
history and collateral pledged as
security). In our bank, for example,
we offer a lower rate to an ag bor­
rower who is borrowing only for the
current year. If it’s rollover money
from a previous borrowing season,
then a higher rate applies, and this
reflects risk as we determine it. So
far as rates are concerned, I know
better borrowers can get 9.5% to
10% at some ag banks, because the
local bank’s cost of funds has gone
down.” (See separate story in Iowa
News.)
“Their big problem (at the Land
Bank),” one banker stated, “is that
they are not putting out any new
money; they’re ju st working over
their loan portfolios trying to pull
themselves out of the current bad
situation. Basically, this means agri­
culture has lost its long-term lender,
and banks are trying to pick up the
slack for solid borrowers.”
Both bankers feel like many

chase or refinancing of farm produc­
tion land at an interest rate of 9.9%
for the first two years. The rate will
be adjusted every two years after
that, pegged at three percentage
points above the three-year rate for
U.S. Treasury bills. All five banks
share some common directors. Four
have common owners—American
National Bank of Bedford, Corn Belt
State Bank of Correctionville, Union
National Bank of Massena, and

Five southwest Iowa banks an­ of the first four banks are awaiting
nounced last week formation of a approval of their application to pur­
$20 million loan pool for the pur- chase the Stanton bank.
Mr. Keim said common pooling of
loans among the five banks will offer
any borrower a maximum $750,000
individual loan. The program was
made public on August 25 and near­
ly 50 inquiries were received in the
first week, Mr. Keim stated. He
added that it is hoped the loan pro­
gram will help stabilize declining
farm land values in southwestern
Iowa.

others apparently do—that the Land
Bank will finally work its way out of
the current mess, but at the long­
term expense of the banks. With the
help of government money, or gov­
ernment-sponsored funds, a several
billion dollar infusion will eventually
restore the Federal Land Banks.
“That may take eight to 10 years,”
one banker noted, “but when they
come back after this period, look
out. They offer the threat of being
the biggest ag lender in the nation
and they want all the business;
th a t’s why they keep tying in their
PC As with the Land Bank loans.”

Stress can play a detrimental role
in the life of a banker, especially in
this day and age when the future of
banking is unsure. Dr. Richard Se­
bastian, associate professor at St.

He said, “Ju st living in the 20th cen­

ERMIT A. Mahlum, president,
■V First National Bank of St.
Peters, was elected president of the
Independent Bankers of Minnesota
during the 1986 annual convention
held at Breezy Point Resort, August
21-23. He succeeds J. Stephen
Schmidt, president, Northern Bank
of Anoka.
Edward J. Zapp, vice president,
Zapp National Bank of St. Cloud,
was elected first vice president, and
Gene LaFrance, president of Elysian
State Bank, was named second vice
president.
Robert Jacobson, vice president,
American National Bank & Trust,
St. Paul, will continue as treasurer,
and Norbert McCrady remains as
executive vice president of IBoM,
headquartered in Bloomington.
IBAA President Chuck Doyle,
president, Gulf National Bank,
Texas City, Tex., was the keynote
speaker during the first general session. In his presentation he told
bankers that the IBAA is com­
mitted to resolving the agricultural
problems facing America and to the
elimination of the non-bank bank
loophole. Mr. Doyle said, “ I t’s not
fair to allow competitors into the


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

banking circle without their having
to play by the same rules as the rest
of us.”
R egarding current in te rsta te
banking legislation, Mr. Doyle con­
ceded “The IBAA has been beaten
by ‘Sears’ and ‘Citicorps,” but he
emphasized, “we’re not down.” To
attendees he urged, “ I encourage
each of you to stand up for Main
Street America and for America’s
well being, for you people are the
backbone of the IBAA.”

Dr. Sebastian went on to say,
“The old philosophy of ‘w hat’s good
for the organization is good for us’ is
now ‘what’s good for us is good for
the organization.’” It is apparent
that bankers must manage their
stress. Dr. Sebastian explained
three steps to accomplish this im­
portant management technique. 1.
You must have controlled individual
responsibility. 2. Balance in your life
is needed; variety is the spice of life.
3. Wellness is important, including
relaxation, exercise and proper diet.
United States Senator Dave Durenberger (MN) was the featured
speaker at the second day’s general
business session. Senator Durenburger said, “Because of deregulation,
there has been incredible impact on
rural America and the banking in­
dustry.” He added, “Rural America
is suffering because the things that
were once taken for granted, like
police and fire protection, Eire now
being jeopardized.” He concluded
his speech with the comment, “We
can’t solve the problems in banking
by recycling old debt into longer
terms and lower interest rates. . . .
we ju st can’t save everybody for­
ever.”
Many interesting speakers were
included in the general business ses­
sions. Richard Filippone, vice presi­
dent, Midway National Bank in St.
Paul, gave his views on the economic
outlook. He predicted the Dow
Jones Average to be at or near 4000
by 1988 and money market interest
rates to be at 4%.

IBAA Pres. Chuck Doyle, pres., Gulf Natl.,
Texas City, Tex., told bankers “If you’re
committed to your goals, you will be suc­
cessful.”

There were many activities
planned for bankers and spouses. A
special workshop, “What Do You
See As Your Role In The Communi­
ty?” hosted by Sue Carlson of Amer­
ican National Bank & Trust of St.
Paul, was featured. There was boat­
ing, swimming and a men’s and
women’s golf tourney during the
convention. The annual dinner/
dance featured the music of the
Jules Herman Orchestra.
