Wisconsin FmHA predicts smaller but steadier farm loans in 1986
Wisconsin officials say the Farmers Home Administration will loan between 170 million and 180 million dollars in 1986, about half of 1985. The smaller, steadier loans limit total dollars but serve more farmers as the agricultural economy appears to bottom out. Delinquency rates remain low while extensions push SOS survival efforts through 1987. Local county trends show Fox River Valley stable, with Manitowoc County as a high volume area.

Fed survey notes widespread farm income and land value drops
A Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis survey of 88 rural bankers finds farm earnings below prior year levels due to lower commodity prices. Declines in irrigated and non irrigated farmland values around 8 percent and nearly 10 percent respectively pressured cash flow, with 4.1 percent of area farmers leaving business and 5.9 percent asset liquidation in late 1985 to March 1986.
