Iowa Plans Mortgage Relief Program For Farmers
A state program under Governor Herring aims to free $108 million in farm mortgages by using federal land bank loans. Assessors will value land on normal prices from 1905 to 1914, with possible 30 percent write offs. The plan seeks to use 50 percent of appraised value, paying banks cash to settle mortgages and freeing closed banks for farmer benefit.
