Penn. ylvania banks were
providing farmers with more
credit and other financial ser-
vices than any other lenders
at the beginning of this year,
according to Stanley Mussel-
man, assistant vice-president
and manager of the agricul-
tural department of the Lan-
caster County Farmers Na-
tional Bank. Musselman rep-
sents the Pennsylvania Bank-
ers Association as Lancaster
County Agricultural Repre-
sentative.
During 1966, the banks
maintained their leadership
in agricultural credit servic-
es. Based on the 26th annual
farm lending summary of the
Agricultural Committee of
The American Bankers Asso-
ciation, Musselman reported
that at the beginning of the
year, Pennsylvania banks
were helping farmers with
$283 million in loans, 5 per
cent more than a year previ-
ous. This total included $143
million in production loans
and $140 million in farm
mortgages. At the same time,
$15 million in farm loans
was held by life insurance
$50 million by
the Federal Land Banks; $47
million by Production Credit
Associations; and $12 milion
in nonreal estate loans, plus
$5 million in real estate
loans by the Farmers Home
Administration. About 71%
of the production credit ex-
tended by lending institutions
to Pennsylvania farmers
came from banks.
Musselman added that the
“bankers in Pennsylvania
are conscious of the large
capital investments required
in agriculture today and are
making a concerted effort
through improved lending
programs to meet these
changing ‘credit demands of
the state’s farmers.”
The increased use of cred-
it by farmers, according to
the banker, has been accom-
panied by a substantial gain
in the total assets of farm
families. Therefore, in the
aggregate, the equity position
of farmers, contrary to pub-
lic opinion, is being main-
tained at a satisfactory level.
Nationally, farm families
have $228 billion of their
own funds invested in agri-
culture. This represents 83
percent of the total capital
requirements of farmers.
Musselman stressed the
importance of farmers and
bankers working closely to-
