? North Carolina farmer! met
their credit needs during 1854
chiefly by loans from their local
bantu, according to James R. San
jeri, Cashier of First-Citiiena
Bank fc Trust Co., of Morehead
City, who represents the North
Carolina Bankers Association as
Carteret County Key Banker.
North Carolina banks remained
the largest lenders to the state's
farmers during the year, providing
far more financial aid to our farm
ers than any other lending agency,
he noted.
Quoting from the 14th annual
farm lending, survey of the Agri
cultural Commission of the Amer
ican Bankers Association, Mr. San
ders stated that on Jan. 1, 1955,
North Carolina banks had loans
outstanding to farmers totaling
$57,747,000 including both produc
tion and mortgage loans.
This compares with a total of
$22,602,000 held by the Farmers
Home Administration, the second
largest lender to North Carolina
farmers. In addition. North Caro
lina banks held $11,765,000 in
CCC Loans under the governments
price-support program not includ
ed in the above figures.
"Despite reaucea net income ana
continued high production ex
penses on farms," Mr. Sanders
said, "repayment of loans is rapid,
and farm assets are at near-record
levels, indicating that these fac
tors have not weakened the finan
cial soundness of agriculture.
"Bank loans play an important
part in maintaining this strong fi
nancial position by permitting our
farmers to make use of the latest
equipment and modern production
and marketing methods, resulting
in greater efficiency," he re
marked.
Of the total farm debt outstand
ing in banks in North Carolina on
Jan. 1, $25,578,000 was in non-reat
estate or production loans. This
compares with $9,500,000 held by
Production Credit Associations and
$9,153,000 held by the Farmers
Home Administration. -
"It can be seen from these fig
ures that about three-quarters of
the production credit used by the
states farmers in 1954 came from
banks," he' stated. He also pointed
out thai a high percentage of the
$32,169,000 in farm mortgages held
by banks in the state at the begin
ning of this year were made for
production and operating purposes.
