General Information
The Agricultural Finance Daiiabook is a compilation of various data on current developments in agricultural
finance. Large portions of the data come from regular surveys conducted by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or Federal Reserve Banks. Other portions of the data come from the quarterly call
report data of commercial banks or from the reports of other financial institutions involved in agricultural
lending. When the current issue went to press, data from the survey of terms of bank lending were available
for the first quarter of 1993; the other data generally were available only through the fourth quarter of
1992.
Parts or all of the Agricultural Finance Databook may be copied and distributed freely.^ Any redistribution of
selected parts of the Databook should be accompanied by the "contents" pages at the beginning of the
corresponding section, together with the front cover identifying the Dfltftbopk and date of issue, and this page
providing subscription information. Remaining questions may be addressed to Nicholas Walraven, Michael Ott,
or John Rosine at the address shown on the cover.
The Databook is furnished on a complimentary basis to college and university teachers, libraries of
educational institutions, government departments and agencies, and public libraries. Others should enclose
the annual subscription fee of $5.00.

SOURCES OF DATA:
These data on the farm loans of $1000 or more made by commercial banks are derived from quarterly sample
surveys conducted by the Federal Reserve System during the first full week of the second month of each
quarter. Data obtained from the sample are expanded into national estimates for all commercial banks, which
are shown in the following tables.
Before August 1989, the farm loan survey was part of a broader survey of the terms of lending by a sample of
340 commercial banks. A subset of 250 banks was asked for information regarding agricultural lending, and
about 150 typically reported at least one farm loan.
Since August of 1989, the data have been drawn from a new, redesigned sample of 250 banks that is no longer
part of the broader survey. In the new sample, banks are stratified according to their volume of farm
lending; previously, they had been stratified according to the volume of business loans. As before, however,
the sample data are being expanded into national estimates for all commercial banks. In the February 1993
survey, 220 banks reported at least one farm loan, and the number of sample loans totaled 4987.
In both the previous survey and the new one, the national estimates exhibit variability due to sampling error
The estimates are sensitive to the occasional appearance of very large loans in the sample. In addition, the
breakdown of national estimates into those for large banks and small banks may have been affected somewhat by
the new sampling procedures that were implemented in August 1989; apparent shifts in the data as of that date
should be treated with caution.

SECTION I: (CONTINUED)
More detailed results from each quarterly survey previously were published in Statistical Release E.2A,
"Survey of Terms of Bank Lending to Farmers". Beginning in February, 1992, the more detailed results are
included at the end of this section of the Databook. and the E2.A has been discontinued. Starting with the
August 1986 survey, farm loans secured by real estate are included in the data shown in the table of detailed
results, whereas such loans are excluded from the tabulations in Tables I.A through I.G and the summary
charts.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
Recent surveys have shown a gradual uptrend in the number of nonreal estate farm loans made by banks, and the
uptrend appears to have been maintained in the first quarter of 1993. The survey that was taken in the first
full week of February showed the number of these loans rising to 2.74 million at an annual rate, compared to
2.45 million in the first quarter of 1992. The average size of loan edged down in the first quarter, but
remained toward the high end of its recent range; the pattern of variation in loan size has tended to dominate
the related series on the amount of loans made, which also turned down a bit in the first quarter, but
remained in a relatively high range.
The average effective interest rate on nonreal estate farm loans turned up slightly in the February survey,
but the increase was concentrated in categories where the quarterly data have tended to be somewhat volatile
over time. By contrast, categories where the rates typically have been less volatile showed little change in
the first quarter: The rates for feeder livestock and farm operating expenses continued to edge down while
the average rate for farm machinery was just a touch higher than in the previous quarter. As in other recent
quarters, about 70 percent of the volume of nonreal estate farm loans was made at interest rates that float.

NOTES TO TABLE I.H
The Survey of Terms of Bank Lending to Farmers collects data on gross loan extensions made during the first full
business week in the mid-month of each quarter by a sample of 250 banks of all sizes. The sample data are blown up to
estimate the lending terms at all insured agricultural banks during that week. The estimated terms of bank lending are
not intended for use in collecting the terms of loans extended over the entire quarter or residing in the portfolios of those
banks. Loans of less than $1,000 are excluded from the survey. Beginning with the August 1986 survey, loans secured
by farm real estate are included in the survey, and one purpose of a loan may be "purchase or improve farm real estate".
In previous surveys, the purpose of such loans are reported as "other".
1. Average maturities are weighted by loan size and exclude demand loans.
2. Effective (compounded) annual interest rates are calculated from the stated rate and other terms of the loans and
weighted by loan size.
3. The chances are about two out of three that the average rate shown would differ by less than this amount from the
average rate that would be found by a complete survey of lending at all banks.
4. The interquartile range shows the interest rate range that encompasses the middle 50 percent of the total dollar
amount of loans made.
5. Among banks reporting loans to farmers, most "large banks" (survey strata 1 and 2) had over $20 million in farm
loans, most "other banks" (survey strata 3 to 5) had farm loans below $20 million.

SOURCES OF DATA:
The data in tables II.A through II.G are prepared using data from the quarterly reports of condition and
income for commercial banks. Delinquencies and charge - offs of nonreal estate farm loans for the nation as a
whole (table II.A and table II.B) are estimated from reports of banks that hold more than 90 percent of total
nonreal estate farm loans. Banks that do not report delinquencies of agricultural loans are assumed to have
the same delinquency rates as those that report. Recently, banks began to report delinquencies of loans that
are secured by farm real estate. These data will be included in the D@t@book iri the near future when a
sufficient historical series is available, probably later in 1993.
Examination of total lending at banks that have a high exposure to agricultural loans provides an alternative
perspective on the agricultural lending situation. Agricultural banks in table II.C through table II.H are
those that have a proportion of farm loans (real estate plus nonreal estate) to total loans that is greater
than the unweighted average at all banks. The estimate of this average was 16.72 percent in December of 1992.
Information on failed banks (table II.H) is obtained from news releases of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, with agricultural banks broken out in our tabulation according to the definition stated in the
previous paragraph.




SECTION II: (continued)

Recent Developments:
Problem loans: The various indicators of problem loans remained about flat for all of 1992, continuing the
relative stability seen in these numbers for the past several years. The volume of delinquent nonreal
estate farm loans at the end of 1992 was little changed from the level of a year earlier However, as a
percent of loans outstanding, delinquencies fell to 2.8 percent, almost 1/2 percentage point less than one
year earlier and the lowest level seen since detailed data on farm delinquencies at commercial banks first
were collected in the early 1980s. Net charge-offs of nonreal estate farm loans were quite low in the
fourth quarter, and the cumulative total for all of 1992 was toward the low end of the range of the past
five years. The number of agricultural banks that reported a volume of nonperforming loans that is large
relative either to their total loan volume or to their total capital continued to shrink in 1992. On
December 31, fewer than one in four banks reported a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans that was
larger than 2 percent, and fewer than one in twenty reported a ratio larger than 5 percent.
Performance of agricultural banks: Profits at agricultural banks were quite strong in 1992. Cumulative
returns for the entire year amounted to 1.2 percent of assets, the strongest yearly performance since 1981.
Apparently agricultural banks used a substantial proportion of the strong returns to build capital--on
December 31, the average capital ratio at agricultural banks was 10.4 percent, continuing the gradual upward
trend seen during the last decade. Nationally, loans at agricultural banks amounted to 55 percent of the
deposits at those banks, about the same as at the end of the last several years.
Failures of agricultural banks: The frequency of failure among agricultural banks remains low.
March, there had been three such failures in the first quarter of 1993.

Data are estimates of the national totals for farm nonreal estate loans. After 1984, estimates are based on reports from banks that hold more than 90
percent of such loans. Earlier, only large banks that held about one-fourth of such loans reported nonaccrual and renegotiated farm loans; for other banks,
estimates of delinquent farm loans are based on a study of delinquent total loans at these banks.

* Data are estimates of the national charge-offs of farm nonreal estate loans based on reports from banks that hold more than
90 percent of the outstanding national volume of such loans. Additional uncertainty of the estimates arises because small
banks report only charge-offs of 'agricultural' loans as defined by each bank for its internal purposes. Banks first reported
these data on the March 1984 Report of Income.

SOURCES OF DATA:
Data are from quarterly surveys of agricultural credit conditions at commercial banks. These surveys are
conducted at the end of each quarter by five Federal Reserve Banks. The size of the surveys differs
considerably, as is noted in the information below. In addition, the five surveys differ in subject matter
covered (as is evident in the tables), wording of basically similar questions, and type of banks covered.
Most of the differences in wording are reflected in the use of different column headings on the two pages of
each table. The states included in each district are indicated in the table headings; states that fall only
partly within a given district are marked with asterisks.
Research departments at each of the five Reserve Banks issue more detailed quarterly reports on their survey
results; these reports are available at the addresses given below.
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Box 834, Chicago, Illinois, 60690
The sample includes member banks at which farm loans represented 25 percent or more of total loans as of
June 1972 (a 10 percent standard is used for banks in the state of Michigan). The sample has undergone
periodic review. The latest survey results were based on the responses of more than 450 banks.
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Federal Reserve P.O. Station, Kansas City Missouri 64198
The sample chosen originally in 1976 consisted of 181 banks selected from banks at which farm loans
constituted 50 percent or more of total loans, with appropriate representation of all farm areas. The sample
was redrawn and significantly expanded in 1987. About 325 banks responded to the third -quarter survey.
[Data on the interest rates on feeder cattle loans and farm operating loans in the Kansas City district
were inadvertently transposed in previous issues of the Databook: corrected data appear in this issue.]
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Minnesota 55480
Before 1987, the sample provided a cross-section of banks of all sizes that were engaged in farm lending.
Members of the Upper Midwest Agricultural Credit Council formed the core of the survey panel. Beginning in
1987, the sample was redrawn to include only banks at which farm loans represented 25 percent or more of total
loans. In the fourth quarter of 1992, 124 banks responded to the survey.




Section III: (continued)

Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Station K. Dallas. Texas 75222
.The sample is stratified regionally and includes banks at which farm loans are relatively important or
which hold a major portion of bank loans in their region. The sample was enlarged in the first quarter of
1985 and was redrawn in the second quarter of 1989. The results for the most recent quarter were based on the
responses from about 210 respondents.
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Richmond. Virginia 23261
The number of agricultural banks in this district is much smaller than those of the other districts. When
the survey was initiated in 1975, the sample consisted of 43 banks of all sizes; banks with larger amounts of
farm loans were sampled more heavily. More recently, the sample has consisted of about 30 banks, roughly
three-fourths of which typically respond to the quarterly surveys.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
Farm loan demand apparently continued to expand in the fourth quarter of 1992. although, in some regions,
perhaps a little less rapidly than had been the case previously. On balance, the survey respondents seemed to
be anticipating moderate increases in farm loan demand in the first quarter of 1993.
The survey responses continue to suggest that commercial banks have ample funds available for farm lending.
The number of respondents saying that fund availability is greater than a year ago (or, in some surveys,
greater than normal) has continued to exceed the number of those reporting diminished fund availability, and
although loan-to-deposit ratios have moved up in some districts, a large majority of the respondents still
characterize their current loan-to-deposit ratios as being lower than desired.
The most recent surveys showed improvement in loan repayment rates in a majority of the districts, and. on
balance, the demand for renewals or extensions of farm loans seems to have dropped back a little. The survey
responses regarding collateral requirements of nonreal estate farm loans were not much different from those of
the previous quarter.
Interest rates on farm loans edged down further in most districts in the final quarter of 1992, by 10 to 20
basis points in most cases. The rates that have been reported in recent quarters are the lowest since the
latter part of the 1970s.

Section III:

(continued)

Trends in farm land values continue to exhibit some regional variation. Surveys from Reserve Banks in the
Midwest showed further increases in nominal land values during 1992, with a somewhat firmer tone apparent
toward vear-end in the Minneapolis and Kansas City districts. A firming of prices also was evident in the
most recent data from the Richmond district; the Richmond series has tended to be quite volatile,however, and
the underlying price trend in that district is difficult to pin down. In the Dallas district, price trends
were mixed in 1992; the price of irrigated acreage apparently moved up last year, while the prices of other
types of farm land continued to decline.

SECTION IV:

FARM DEBT OUTSTANDING (including farm households)

TABLES:
Debt held by institutional lenders
IV.A

Quarterly estimates

Page
40

SOURCES OF DATA:
The sources of the data in this section are: quarterly reports of condition, all insured commercial banks;
the quarterly information statements of the Farm Credit System; "Gross Flow of Mortgage Loans in the United
States," American Council of Life Insurance; and "Report 616," Farmers Home Administration, U.S. Department of
Agriculture. The farm debt series on a USDA basis is from the Economic Research Service. The data are not
seasonally adjusted.
The quarterly data shown here for commercial banks, life insurance companies, and the Farmers Home
Administration align closely with those reported annually in the USDA accounts that include the debt of farm
households (as well as the debt of farm businesses). By contrast, the numbers shown here for the Farm Credit
System differ somewhat from those shown in the USDA accounts, owing to adjustments by the USDA to exclude
loans extended to borrowers other than farmers.
(The total volume of loans held by the Farm Credit System
also includes loans to cooperatives, which are not included either in the figures shown here or in the USDA
tabulations of farm debt.)
In recent years, the amount of farm loans held by the institutional lenders identified in these tables
typically has accounted for about 80 percent of all farm loans outstanding. The remaining farm loans are
held by a variety of businesses and individuals; estimates of those loans are published by the USDA on an
annual basis, but corresponding quarterly data are not available.

Recent developments:
The volume of farm loans held by commercial banks increased 3 percent over the course of 1992, only about half
as much as in each of the preceding two years. Almost all of the rise in loan volume in 1992 consisted of
loans secured by real estate; the volume of these loans increased 7.8 percent over the year. The year-to-year
rate of increase in nonreal estate farm loans held by banks slowed over the course of 1992 and amounted to
only 0.2 percent at year-end.
The volume of farm loans held by the Farm Credit System changed little, on net. during 1992, as a further
small decline in the volume of real estate loans was partly offset by a small rise in the outstanding volume
of nonreal estate loans. The estimated volume of farm loans held by the Farmers Home Administration continued
to trend lower through the end of 1992, at about the same rapid pace observed over the previous three years.
Year-end loan data for the life insurance companies were not available at the time that this issue of the
Databook went to press.
