...Erick, and the First National Bank of Woodbine, Iowa, became the Iowa Savings Bank, a new subsidiary of a local holding company. In other cases, healthy banks in neighboring towns or cities take over collapsed institutions. Almost always, the new management pursues more conservative lending policies and demands payment more quickly from cash-strapped farmers...
...loan rates, in the case of 1985-crop wheat, $4.38 per bu. vs. $3.30. Growers who qualify, sometimes by agreeing to restrict production, sell their crops to private buyers. But if the market price falls below the target price, the Government makes up the difference with a cash "deficiency payment," up to a maximum representing the difference between the loan rate and the target price--$1.08 per bu. on 1985 wheat.

Prices increased 312% between 1950 and 1983. During that same period, wages and salaries rose 412%, but the typical monthly Social...
...younger people. Today's workers are paying for benefits to retirees that far exceed contributions the retirees made during their working years. An individual who goes on Social Security this year has put about $50,124 into the system during his lifetime. If he gets the average 1985 payment of $594 a month, it will take seven years to recoup that. The debate between the generations in America will certainly continue...
