Interest Reduction Looms as Farm Credit Merger Delayed
Diane Yeamans reports the Production Credit Associations and Federal Land Bank Associations hope to finalize a merger by February 1. The change promises more than a 1 percent cut in borrower interest rates, from 2.5 to 1.4 percent, plus streamlined operations and staff reductions. Ward notes district reorganization, cost savings, and ongoing caution about drought and credit access in Southeast Kansas.

Kansas City traders see the large March to July wheat futures spread continuing as old-crop prices stay shaped by a higher loan rate and weather woes in Argentina and Australia. The farm bill changes to a lower new-crop loan rate, plus potential export shifts, drive the disparity.
