Credit Outlook Report From U S Economists 1938 Farmland Loans Rise
The Farm Credit Outlook says agricultural loans will be nearly unchanged from 1937 with short term credit up at least 10 percent due to higher costs and equipment needs. Demand for new mortgage credit stays small while commodity and crop financing, plus bank rediscounts, support ample lending resources. Domestic demand weaker in 1938, prices and buying power lower than 1928, and cash farm income expected to dip versus 1937.
