In segment 2, Mark Scanlon, SVP of Ag and Rural Affairs and Alan Keller, SVP of Legislative Affairs, both from Indepedent Community Bankers Association discussed the impact of a bill pending in both the House and Senate that would exempt interest from farmland/rural residence loans from taxation in FDIC institutions; which could lower interest rates on those loans by as much as 20%.
