Baltimore Farm Credit (Continued from Page Al) to change by offering our customers a wide array of loan products. These products include fixed rate loans as well as variable rate loans, differentially-priced from both the quality as well as the size. We preceive these new loan products to be in the best interest of our customers,” Swackhamer said. “If the individual borrowers have maintained sound operations and have invested a considerable amount of their own equity, they should get a preferential rate. And that’s what we intend to do.” While our loan values are still declining, that is perhaps more from farmers’ desire to curtail the use of farm credit than anything else. We feel our loan rates are far more competitive now in relation to alternate sources of credit than they were in 1986. So we expect to see our loan value stabilize and hold at about the present level of $2.8 billion on a combined basis.

I would not expect there would be a noticeable change from a shareholder’s or a borrower’s point of view in terms of loan service or loan support,” Swackhamer said. “We are a very decentralized system in the Baltimore district even though we have joint management. We want that part of the organization to remain the same. We want the branches to be a profit center. And the administrative support for that branch office is where the change would occur. Consolidation in some of the functions would give us the economy that will help us to adjust to a shrinking agricultural credit base. We believe we have taken joint management about as far as we can go to realize economy. To National Equine Canter & Livestock Corp.

That may lode like dramatic change in the Farm Credit System. But if you look at history, in 1941 there were several thousand credit offices in the United States. And today there are about 355. So there has been ongoing change each decade. This is a continuation of it,” Swackhamer said. “But I think this consolidation would position ST.
