ABA Cites Benefits of Farm Secondary Market for Farmers
average prices on farm products
over the period.
The results showed that the vari­
estate over the past eight years, a able rate mortgage wiped out the
typical midwestern farm family hypothetical farm family’s cash sur­
'could have saved nearly $ 100,000 in plus of $968 in 1978 and left the
interest payments and loss to net family $56,000 further in debt by
worth, according to a computer 1986. Additional interest costs
model study by the Agricultural under the variable-rate mortgage
Bankers Division of the American also sent the farm family’s net
worth plunging by $8,514 in 1986,
Bankers Association.
“This study shows that a secon­ compared with a gain of $4,866
dary market for farm mortgages under a fixed-rate mortgage.
The farmer in the example would
would have a tremendous benefit,
not only for individual farmers but likely have been out of business in
for farm communities throughout five to six years under the variablethe nation,” according to C.G. “Kel­ rate mortgage unless he found a new
ly” Holthus, a member of the ABA source of funds of refinancing on his

Task Force. Mr. Holthus is also model assumes stable land values
president of the First National Bank because that would be one of the an­
ticipated benefits of the secondary
of York, Nebr.
The computer model assumed a market for farm mortgages.)
On the other hand, the fixed-rate
mortgage on a hypothetical 240 acre
Iowa farm with 75 percent financing mortgage would have left the hypo­
which was bought in 1978. The thetical farm family in far better fi­
study compared the effects of a nancial condition with a cash sur­
30-year fixed mortgage at 9 percent, plus of $968 and a stable net worth
which would be available to Ameri­ throughout the same eight year
can farmers through the proposed analysis period.
The study also showed that the
secondary market for agricultural
real estate, compared with a vari­ net worth of the computer model
able-rate farm mortgage over the farm family under a fixed-rate mort­
same time period. The model al­ gage would have been nearly
lowed for such factors as purchases $71,000 greater than with the vari­
of new equipment, operating ex­ able rate mortgage. In addition, the

secondary market for farm real

model would have paid an extra
$99,000 in interest payments under
the variable rate mortgage than it
would have under the fixed-rate
mortgage.
ABA has been instrumental in de­
veloping a proposal for a secondary
market for farm mortgages. Such a
secondary market would be similar
to secondary markets already avail­
able to homeowners, such as the
Federal National Mortgage Associa­
tion (Fannie Mae) and the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(Freddie Mac).
“Without a seconary market for
agricultural real estate,” said Mr.
Holthus, “farmers and farm commu­
nities have been denied the same op­
portunities and benefits that long­
term, fixed-rate financing has of­
fered homebuyers.” Econom ists
estimate that every $1 in farm in­
come is felt seven times through the
nation’s economy.
“As the ABA computer simula­
tion shows,” Mr. Holthus said, “the
lack of such a secondary market for
the farm sector has cost farm fami­
nes millions of dollars in lost net
worth and in additional interest pay­
ments on variable-rate loans.”

Minnesota News
M INNEAPOLIS: First Bank Sys­
tem, Inc., has filed applications with
the Comptroller of the Currency to
consolidate 26 of its Minnesota
banks into five new banks, and to
consolidate its five North Dakota
banks into one bank. The merger
will create one bank with 32 loca­
tions in the seven county metro area
by combining the 14 FB S banks and
their branches in the Twin Cities. In
the rest of the state, 12 FB S banks
will be consolidated into four new
banks. Each bank will have the
name First Bank, followed by a geo­
graphic identifier in the name. First
Bank Minnesota, with offices in
Hibbing, Babbitt and Virginia, is
not included in this action for it is
merged already into a logical market
and service area configuration. First
Bank E ast Grand Forks will remain
a separately chartered bank due to
its northwestern location in the
state. Minnesota law enacted earlier
this year permits metro area banks
to consolidate their existing offices.
It also permits banks in other parts
of the state to increase their number
of branches from two to five. The
new North Dakota law allows a hold­
ing company in that state to merge
all of its existing facilities.

In these times of change
and uncertainty, rely on the
time-tested quality invest­
ment recommendations
of the Investment Banking
Division of United Missouri
Bank.

understand, we have excluded all
variable factors except the interest
rates on the real estate loans and the
carryover debt. Thus, for simplifica­
tion, we have included several as­
sumptions.
The purchase of 240 acres of land
at $1,646.00 per acre (the 1978 aver­
age price of Iowa farmland: Iowa
State University). The land is added
to a 280 acre operation. The new
operation includes 400 acres of row
crops; half corn, half beans; with 50
beef cows and 50 sows; farrow-tofinish operation. Crop yields, live­
stock production, sale prices and
production expenses are locked in at
the average for the 1978-85 period
based on figures from the Iowa Crop
and Livestock Reporting Service.
The survey also allows for $10,
000/yr. depreciation expenses and
$ 10,000 for replacement of machi­
nery and breeding livestock .
Because this figure was approxi­
mately equal to the non-real estate
principal paid each year, we have as­
sumed a constant $17,400 payment
on the intermediate debt (which
started at $60,000 for both the vari­
able mortgage and the fixed mort­
gage examples). This helps show the
effects of variable interest payments
more clearly.
Both the variable and fixed ex­
amples show that 75% ($297,000) of
the purchase price was financed
under a 30 year amortization sche­
dule. Under alternative HI (Variable
Mortgage) the real estate was fi­
nanced at an interest rate that fluc­
tuated over the time period to be
equal to effective Omaha Federal
Land Bank rates. Under alternative
#2 (Fixed Mortgage) the model as­
sumes that the real estate was fi­
nanced with a 9% fixed rate for each

year throughout the 30 year mort­
gage.
I
The payment under alternative #1
(Variable Mortgage) does not remain
constant. Instead, it increased as
the interest rate changed over the
time period. As the payments^
became too large for the operation’s
cash flow, the losses were refinanced
each year for a term of one year.
All of the raw data was fed into a
farm financial planning computer*
model produced by the University of
Minnesota which is recognized by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
and by the banking industry as a.
reliable tool for analyzing farm fi­
nancial conditions.
This hypothetical example, which
focuses on interest rates, does not
include such factors as actual com-,
modity prices and yields each year,
and depreciation of land and machi­
nery, because the focus of the com­
puter model is on the impact of in­
terest rates on the financial condi-j
tion of a farm family. Even with the
addition of these factors, ABA
believes the effect on the final re­
sults would have been negligible.
For additional information on thej
methodology of the computer model,
please contact Leslie Miller at 202/
663-5100.

The Independent Bankers of Colo­

the framework for possible 1988 in­
terstate banking legislation. In his
letter to the membership, IBOC
President Charles B. M cKinstry
said if such a bill is passed, “we
should have something to say about
what the legislation contains.” The
IBOC has fought interstate legisla­
tion. The proposal being considered
would impose strict limitations: All
acquired Colorado banks would be
required to make 85% of their loans
within Colorado. Out-of-state buyers
would be prohibited from merging or
acquiring any Colorado bank or
holding company that controls 15%
of the deposits in Colorado, or would
control 15% after such sale. This re­
moves most main Denver banks
from outside purchase. A one-time

of directors of an acquired bank

area of the acquired Colorado bank.
