Banker urges state agency to guarantee farmers loans
Iowa bankers urge a state guarantee agency to back farm loans to avert foreclosures. Paul Dunlap of Hawkeye Bancorporation proposes a three part plan including a possible Iowa State Bank to make or guarantee loans, with a cash need and removal of farmland ownership barriers. He argues lenders lack liquidity and long term credit, not funds. The plan presumes state action and possible moratorium on forfeited land, while warning federal help may not come.
