Our book value per share was $28.07 compared to $26.25 on June 30, 2017, an increase of 6.9 percent.” Chief Operations Of- ficer Gary Propheter said, “Both deposits and loans have shown modest growth year over year. Our staff has been busy updating ATM offerings at select locations. We have installed deposit taking ATMs as strategic upgrades to facilitate after hours and weekend de- posits in Irrigon, Island City, Burns, John Day and Fossil. This is in addition to existing deposit taking ATMs in Athena, Dayville, Monument, Spray, Wasco, Lakeview and Ontario. The new machines have been well received by our customers.” “Being an agricultural based bank, we are affected by the cyclical nature of the ag economy. While some areas of the country and even the PNW are experi- encing continued drought stress, most of our trade area experienced timely rains during the past few months. In general, we see prospects for a decent wheat crop and there is abundant feed in the moun- tains for the cattle. Along with our producers, we are awaiting the outcome of the new farm bill, as well as any impact that tariffs and other geo-political factors have on the ag economy,” concluded Bailey.
