Iowa Banks Advised to Limit Farm Mortgage Loans
Des Moines July 30 state banking head George Messenger urged banks to buy only marketable farm mortgages and not lend more than 100 per acre on Iowa land. He warned against inflation of land values and noted banks may lend up to 40 percent of land value, with 100 dollars per acre as a practical market maximum. He warned that loans above 100 per acre are not readily negotiable and would burden buyers with large out of pocket costs.
