Such tax credit shall be allowed for such interest rate reductions by an association upon agricultural production loans having a total principal amount not exceeding 15% of the amount of such loans reflected in the association's report filed with the farm credit administration for calendar year 1985.
(b) For the purposes of this section, the term "eligible agricultural borrower" means any person, partnership or family farm corporation, as defined in K.S.A. 17-5903, and amendments thereto, located in the state of Kansas, having an agricultural production loan which has been classified as substandard or doubtful by any banking regulator, the farm credit administration or a district farm credit system institution which is subject to review by the farm credit administration.
(c) An interest rate reduction may be applied under the provisions of this section only when the eligible borrower can be reasonably expected to service the principal and interest of such person's loan.

The tax credit allowed for any taxable year shall not exceed 1 / 5 of the total tax credit of the association allowed under this act. Unused tax credit shall be carried forward as a credit to the association's tax liability in each subsequent taxable year and shall then be taken into account, subject to the limitation that the credit in any one taxable year may not exceed 1 / 5 of the total tax credit.
(e) Any taxpayer who qualified for and claimed credit under this section prior to its amendment by this act shall continue to be subject to this section as in effect at the time the taxpayer qualified for such credits for the entire period for which the credits were claimed.
