Farm mortgage rates are lowest on record in Story County
Story County findings by William G. Murray of Iowa State College show farm mortgage rates from 1854 to 1939 at record lows. The study notes a steady decline from about 7-8 percent pre-1900 to around 4.5 percent by 1938, with the lowest 4 percent at the Federal Land Bank and individual loans around 4.34 percent. Nationwide data align with the Story County trend, as farm mortgage interest bills fell from 588 million in 1928 to about 365 million in 1938.
