Farm Credit Banks of Wichita face heavy losses in 1985 third quarter
The four state Farm Credit Banks that serve farmers and ranchers report a combined nine month loss of 106.5 million, driven by rising loan losses at the Federal Land Bank and support to Production Credit Associations. The Wichita Bank for Cooperatives posts a 7.6 million net income for Q3, down from 8.3 million a year earlier as capital falls to 827.2 million. Loans serviced drop 6.7 percent to 75,143. President Perry warns 1985 remains bleak for agricultural income and foresees continued asset increases and losses through 1985 and beyond.

Farm expenses bite into profits as prices edge up
Kansas State University extension economists told local producers that government loan programs may lift price supports for wheat feedgrains and soybeans while rising cattle values improve quarterly profitability. But cash costs will still hinder many from earning a living wage, prompting more leasing of livestock facilities storage and machinery. Farmers are advised to sell current feedgrains and wheat or use futures or calls to ride rallies. Three Kansas fairs will showcase microcomputer software and farm management topics with preregistration required.
