11-34-113. Terms and conditions of loans.
(a) The board shall make loans only upon the following terms and conditions:
(i) The loan shall be secured by a duly recorded first or second mortgage as approved by the board on the farm lands within this state;
(ii) Every mortgage shall contain an agreement providing for repayment of the entire amount of the loan and interest upon a certain date or in several specified payments, or on an amortization plan of annual or semiannual installments so computed as to pay the interest on the loan according to terms of the mortgage and such amounts to be applied on the principal as will terminate the debt within an agreed period of not less than five (5) years nor more than thirty (30) years. The method of repayment is at the option of the board.
(b) After five (5) years from date of the mortgage, additional payments for part or all of the principal may be made on the annual or semiannual payment date under such rules and regulations as the board may prescribe. On the application of the borrower the board may provide in the mortgage for the payment of interest only during the first five (5) years and thereafter for the payment of both interest and principal on the amortization plan. Any loan may be paid in full before the expiration of five (5) years upon payment of a ten dollar ($10.00) fee to be paid into the general fund. Any loan paid in full after five (5) years from the date thereof, the ten dollars ($10.00) fee shall not be collected.
(c) Repealed by Laws 1987, ch. 242, § 2.
(d) Notwithstanding the loan term limitation specified in paragraph (a)(ii) of this section, the board may reamortize farm loan payments over an additional number of years which together with the years remaining on the original term shall create a new term not to exceed thirty (30) years, at the same interest rate as that in effect at the time of reamortization for loans being made under W.S. 11-34-101 through 11-34-130, when in the judgment of the board the reduced payments resulting from reamortization of the loan will provide adequate financial benefit to assure with reasonable certainty the ultimate repayment of the loan. Any borrower requesting reamortization shall have the burden of showing that reamortization will significantly improve the financial viability of the agricultural operation. No loan shall be reamortized if, in the sole judgment of the board, the borrower is in sound financial condition and reamortization is not necessary to secure repayment of the loan, or if reamortization will not provide sufficient financial benefit to avoid the imminent failure of the borrower's operation. Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing the reamortization of water development project loans.
