Parts of the Farm Credit System trace their roots back to the Federal Farm Loan Act of 1916, but PCAs were established by the Farm Credit Act of 1933. The charter that Yankee Farm Credit holds today traces directly back to the three PCAs that were chartered in Vermont in 1934. Highlights of your Association' s financial results in 2009: • Net income was $5.1 million, up $0.5 million (12%) from 2008. • Loans held by the Association increased by $30 million (9%) to $356 million. • Loan quality deteriorated slightly, as expected, but remains satisfactory. Acceptable loan volume decreased from 97.8% to 95.0%, while high risk assets increased from 0.5% to 1.1% of total loan volume. • Permanent capital decreased from 19.2% to 17.4%, due to loan growth. Many Yankee borrowers experienced financial stress in 2009. It was perhaps the worst year in the dairy industry, our largest industry concentration, since the Great Depression. Much of the increase in loan volume was to finance dairy farm operating losses. Conditions in the timber industry, our second largest industry concentration, remained weak due to the recession which began in December 2007. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.8 million in 2009, more than double the previous largest amount. Because of the deterioration in credit quality and the decrease in our capital ratios, the 2009 patronage refund was reduced. Although we traditionally pay 1.00% or more of member average loan volume as a patronage refund, the 2009 patronage refund will be 0.80%. The total refund will be nearly $2.6 million, which is 51 % of net income. It will be paid 100% in cash on or about March 25, 2010. While there have been many changes to the Farm Credit System in the last 75 years, the goal has always been to provide farmers with a reliable source of dependable credit. Yankee is proud of our heritage and we look forward to the future. Thank you once again for your continuing patronage and support. We look forward to visiting with you at our upcoming regional annual meetings. £/c~~ Paul E. Gingue George S.

    THE NEW DEAL, RURAL POVERTY, AND THE SOUTH by CHARLES KENNETH ROBERTS KARI FREDERICKSON, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE C. RABLE LISA LINDQUIST DORR ANDREW J. HUEBNER PETE DANIEL A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Charles Kenneth Roberts 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the political and administrative history of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and its predecessors, the New Deal agency most directly associated with eliminating rural poverty. In addition, it studies and describes the efforts to remedy rural poverty, with an emphasis on farm security efforts (particularly rural rehabilitation) in the South, by looking at how the FSA’s actual operating programs (rural rehabilitation, tenant-purchase, and resettlement) functioned. This dissertation demonstrates that it is impossible to understand either element of the FSA’s history – its political and administrative history or the successes and failures of its operating programs – without understanding the other. The important sources include archival collections, congressional records, newspapers, and published reports. This dissertation demonstrates that New Deal liberal thought (and action) about how to best address rural poverty evolved considerably throughout the 1930s. Starting with a wide variety of tactics (including resettlement, community creation, land use reform, and more), by 1937, the New Deal’s approach to rural poverty had settled on the idea of rural rehabilitation, a system of supervised credit and associated ideas that came to profoundly influence the entire FSA program. This proved to be the only significant effort in the New Deal to solve the problems of rural poverty.

  • Antitrust Immunities of Cooperative Associations
    ANTITRUST IMMUNITIES OF COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS JOHN HANNA* Cooperative associations other than agricultural are subject to the same rules on restraint of trade as other corporations.1 Agricultural cooperatives in their normal marketing and purchasing activities have nothing to fear from state antitrust legis- lation. Without any exemption in federal antitrust laws, the state and federal legislative approval of farm cooperatives, expressing a widespread public confidence in the utility of cooperative enterprise, would likely have induced the courts to conclude that the slight and incidental restraints on trade by agricultural associations in their normal operations are not unreasonable. To make this certain, agricul- tural producers' cooperatives are granted a degree of immunity by the Clayton Act, the Capper-Volstead Act, and the Robinson-Patman Act. This immunity is not ab- solute, but so long as the agricultural associations conduct themselves with some sense of responsibility and refrain from conspiring with non-agricultural interests, the antitrust laws need not be of much concern to those who formulate the policies of the associations. This .conclusion could have been and was reached by most students of agricultural cooperatives during the rapid expansion from 192o to X930, and requires no modification today. Farmers expressed their sense of economic insecurity during the latter part of the nineteenth century, and later, by enthusiastically aiding in the passage of state antitrust laws and the Sherman Act. They tried, sometimes successfully, to have their own organizations exempted from the penal provisions of these statutes. Where they were unsuccessful they often found that their first feeble attempts at coopera- tive action were held to be illegal, while the enlargement of business units con- tinued with only minor setbacks.2 Where they were successful the outcome in *A.B.

A GUIDE TO BORROWER LITIGATION AGAINST THE FARM CREDIT SYSTEM AND THE RIGHTS OF FARM CREDIT SYSTEM BORROWERSf By CHRISTOPHER R. KELLEY* AND BARBARA J. HOEKSTRA** I. INTRODUCTION The farm financial crisis of the 1980's has produced and con- tinues to produce an unprecedented amount of litigation against the lending institutions of the Farm Credit System by the owners of those institutions, their borrowers. Although no single charac- terization of the substance of the claims made by those borrowers can be all-encompassing, the gist of most claims has been that the Farm Credit System lender behaved imprudently or unfairly in the servicing, including foreclosure, of the borrower's loans. Coin- ciding with that litigation have been entreaties to Congress to mandate changes in the ways in which Farm Credit System lend- ers deal with their borrowers.

ERS Staff Report No. AGES880914. ABSTRACT Federal drought relief has had an increasingly important role in the 20th century in contrast to earlier years when the Government assumed no responsibility. A variety of programs has been used, especially in the severe drought years of the 1930s, 1950s, and 1980s. Beginning in the 1930s, Federal aid emphasized emergency loans, purchases, and subsidies. Since 1974, the Government has often used direct disaster payment programs, which have greatly increased expenditures. Federal crop insurance, which has existed for, 50 years, has never played a major role, but proposals in the next farm bill may require participants in commodity programs to buy crop insurance. Keywords: Drought, crop loss, legislation, emergency loans, livestock assistance, disaster payments, crop insurance.
