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 A gricultural Secondary M arket variable-rate mortgage.

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.

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.” Assumptions A BA ’s Leslie Miller, manager of AG M O D EL.. .

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.

Specializing in the Purchasing and Sale of Banks 405 Main 515-232-0814 Ames, Iowa 50010 Donald E. Holder, Principal “THE RIGHT FIT” B anking P lacem ent Specialist For Your Staff: □ Top Professional Bankers who are confidentially screened to find “The Right Fit” □ We recruit nationally through our over 2 0 0 independent affiliates as well as locally for our clients □ Contingency or Retainer Fee arrange ments □ Contact Sue Lundquist or Mel Hansen, CPC Banking Specialists 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. □ * * * Legislation to create such a secon-^ dary market for long-term farm real estate is part of H.R. 3030 now being considered in the House.
