Major policy decisions to improve financial services to fanners have been implemented by the Northeast Illinois Traduction Credit Association during the past year, John Webb, president, told 325 members during the fiftieth annual meeting last week at Harvard. One decision concerned establishment of joint jement of the PCA with 'ederal Land Bank :iation ^ of DeKalb- Woodstock to provide a one-stop credit service. "Just as the structure and needs of American agriculture have been changing, so has the configuration of financial institutions been changing, he asserted. "Joint management and one- stop credit concept will provide an opportunity to improve service to farm families by being able to extend a total line of credit service. It will provide a streamlined organizational structure to make better use of capital, labor and talent while eliminating certain areas of duplicated effort. "It will result in an economic savings for borrowers by expanding market opportunities for eacn system and by eliminating competition and overlapping in recruitment and training by the FLBA and PCA." Webb said another major decision was the establishment of an Employee Loan committee to make all loan decisions. This will provide more timely credit service and provide a clearer chain of accountability. He said since the committee procedure was adopted, loan processing time decreased from an average of 17 days to an average of five days. Alan Ainger, board chairman from Harvard, said the board evaluated the joint management proposal of the Sixth District Farm Credit board and hired John Webb, FLBA of DeKalb-Woodstock, president, to serve as the PCA president effective last June 1. "We are encouraged with the Eod working relationships that ve developed between the boards and employees of the two associations," ne said. "We are concerned, as a board, with the farm economy and government policies as to what impact they will have on farmers. Noting that the event marked the organization's fiftieth annual meeting, Ainger introduced A. B. McConnell, Woodstock farmer who was a founder and a member of the first board of directors of the association. McConnell recalled the PCA was founded during a time when credit was^iforv available and foreclosures were frequent. Shortly after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, he turned to advisers who recommended an overhaul of the Federal Farm Credit structure. On March 27, 1933, Roosevelt issued an executive order establishing the. Farm Credit Administration. The local PCA was organized Oct. 14,1933, and chartered Oct. 30, 1933. In looking ahead to 1984, Webb observed that "during the past year we have seen almost everything from last fall's commodity surpluses, low commodity prices and relatively high interest rates to the Put program, some strengthening of prices and moderation of interest rates to our present projected commodity shortages caused by the drought and heat of 1983, and higher commodity prices. • "With 1984 a presidential election year, I do not anticipate interest rates will increase much, if any.' They should stabilize at about their present levels." One highlight during the year was the completion of a new office building in Woodstock for the PCA and FLBA. An open house was held March 20. The PCA serves 305 stockholders in McHenry, Boone and Lake Counties with short- term loans primarily for funds to buy livestock, machinery, and to put in a crop. Total loans outstanding 1982 were $21,346,000. Activity during 1983 dropped because of the PIK am as farmers cut back on program production needs.
