Iowa Bankers See Iowa Dependence on 1925 Corn Crop
Iowa bankers report to the Iowa Bankers Association and state banking board that most banks believe Iowa is practically dependent on the 1925 corn crop with little reserve. Questionnaires from 93 banks across 25 counties show many banks see no old corn locally, while a majority feel they can meet farmers’ credit needs without local credit corporations. A minority urge such facilities. Regarding the Iowa Warehouse Act, 200 bankers across seven counties say farmers want to hold and store corn under the act, while 607 banks oppose that idea.
