Advanced farm loan program grows with cooperatives
The Omaha Bank for Cooperatives reported 520 million in advanced loans to farm crops across Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Wyoming. Total loans reached 2.585 billion for the year, up 25 percent from 1974, with grain finance down as farmers held grain. Financing for fertilizers and petroleum facilities rose as a share of totals, and bank officials expect this trend to continue. President John Harling noted farmers rely more on cooperatives for affordable inputs amid lower grain prices and hopes for modest price rises in 1976.
