Stevenson Named Key Banker For Perquimans V North Carolina banks remain a major source of credit and other financial services to farm, ers in our state, according to R. M. Rlddick Jr., Senior Vice President, peoples Bank & Trust Co. who represents the North Carolina Bankers Association as Perquimans County Key Bank, er. During 1966, the banks main talned their leadership in ag. rlcultural credit services. Based on the 26th annual farm lending summary of the Agricul tural committee of The Amerl can Bankers Association, Mr. Rlddick reported that at the be ginning of the year, North Caro. Una banks were helping farmers with $149 million In loans, 8 per cent more than a year previous. This total Included $80 million in production loans and $69 million in farm mortgages. At the same time, $49 million in farm loans was held by life Insurance companies; $114 mil Hon by the Federal Land Banks; $95 million by Production Credit Associations; and $18 million in nonreal estate loans, plus 51 3 million in real estate loans by the Farmers Home Admlnlstra. tlon. About 41 per cent of the pro duction credit extended by lend ing institutions to North Caro Una farmers came from banks. Mr. Rlddick said that "bankers in North Carolina are conscious of the laree capital Investments required in agriculture today and are making a concerted effort through Improved lending pro grams to meet these changing credit demands of the state's farmers." The increased use of credit by farmers, according to Mr. Rlddick, has been accompanied by a substantial gain in the total assets of farm families. There fore, in the aggregate, the equity position of farmers, contrary to public opinion, is being maintain ed at a satisfactory level. Na tionally, farm families have $2 8 billion of their own funds Invested in agriculture. This rep resents 83 per cent of the total requirements of farmers. Mr. Rlddick stressed the im portance of farmers and bank ers working closely together to Improve farm financial arrange, ments. He reported that nine out of ten Insured banks through' out the country had agricultural loans outstanding, with nearly 96 per cent of the banks in North Carolina-extending credit to farm people.
