General Information
The Agricultural Finance Databook 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 second quarter o 1994; the other data generally were available through the first quarter.
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 Databook and date of issue, and this page
providing subscription information. Remaining questions may be addressed to Nicholas Wa1raven or Michele
Ricci 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.
New subscriptions to the Databook (Statistical Release E.15) may be entered by sending a mailing address
(including zip code) to:
Publications Services, Mail Stop 138

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.
Beginning in November 1991, several survey statistics are estimated for each of ten farm production regions as
defined by the USDA. These statistics, which are presented in table I.I, should be treated with some caution.
Although an effort was made to choose a good regional mix of banks for the panel, the panel has 1 ver been
stratified by region = Consequently, the survey results are less precise for each region than fo
he totals
for the nation.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
The estimated number of nonreal estate farm loans made by banks jumped in the second quarter to the highest
level since 1989, owing mainly to a surge in the number of loans for operating expenses other than those
associated with livestock. The average size of loans in the first full week of May was about $29,000, a bit
below the average that has prevailed for the past couple of years. The total estimated volume of loans closed
during the first week of May was about in line with the average seen in recent years, as the uptick in the
number of loans roughly offset the dip in the average size of each loan.
In the May 1994 survey, the average effective rate of interest on nonreal estate farm loans rose 50 basis
points to 7.8 percent, the highest level since mid 1992. Estimated average rates increased for all types and
for all sizes of loans, although the sharpest increases were for larger loans. In the May survey, the
percentage of loans that were made with a rate of interest that floats dipped to about 70 percent, perhaps as
some farmers attempted to lock in lower rates for the growing season.
The overall weighted average rate of interest including real estate loans rose 43 basis points in the May
survey. The average rate of interest charged for farm loans rose across all farm regions. The magnitude
of the increases ranged from about 100 basis points in the Northeast, Appalachian, and Southeast regions to
10 basis points in the Cornbelt,

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 ending 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.

SECTION II:

(continued)

Recent Developments:
Loans outstanding:
At the end of the first quarter of 1994, the volume of n o n r e a l estate farm loans was 8.3
percent greater than one year earlier = A l t h o u g h the volume of these loans edged down during the first
quarter, the decline was about in line with the seasonal pattern in years past.
Thus, the demand for
nonreal estate farm loans, which appears to have picked upduring the second h a l f of last year, seems to h a v e
remained firm in early 1994.
The volume of real estate debt that was held by c o m m e r c i a l banks at the end of
the first quarter of 1994 was about 6-1/2 percent greater than at the same point in 1993.
This y e a r - t o - y e a r
growth in farm real estate loans is about in line with the average rate of growth seen since the mid 1980s.
Problem loans:
In early 1994, delinquent farm nonreal estate loans were $200 m i l l i o n less than in March of
1993.
As a percentage of farm production loans outstanding, delinquencies amounted to slightly more than 3
percent, which is quite low when seasonal swings in delinquencies are taken into a c c o u n t .
The volume of net
charge-offs of farm production loans totaled $10 million in the first quarter of 1994.
The volume of
delinquent farm real estate loans outstanding was slightly below year-earlier levels.
The rate of
delinquency of these loans was about 1/2 percentage point less than the year b e f o r e , continuing the trend of
decreasing delinquency rates that has been evident since these data first b e g a n to be reported in 1991.
At
the end of the first quarter of 1994, roughly four of every five agricultural b a n k s reported a level of
nonperforming loans that was less than 2 percent of total loans, while fewer than one in twenty- five
agricultural banks reported a share of nonperforming loans that was greater than 5 percent.
Performance of agricultural b a n k s :
Through the end of the first quarter, profits at agricultural banks appear
to be running about even with the pace of the last several years, which all h a v e b e e n quite profitable.
The average capital ratio for agricultural banks in March 1994 was 11 percent, an increase of 0.4 p e r c e n t a g e
points from the previous M a r c h .
The ratio of loans to deposits at agricultural b a n k s was above y e a r - e a r l i e r
levels in all Federal Reserve districts, suggesting substantial underlying strength in the demand for farm
loans.
Failures of agricultural b a n k s :
At the time that this publication went to press, no agricultural banks h a v e
failed in 1994.
Given the strong capital positions of most agricultural b a n k s and their low level of
problem loans, the chance that any of these institutions might fail seems to be i n c r e a s i n g l y remote.

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 nonrea1 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.

* Agricultural and other banks are defined in the introduction to section II; small banks have less than 500 million dollars in assets.
Total primary and secondary capital (items that are available at the end of the period specified) are measured as a percentage of total assets.
Quarterly data in the lower panel are cumulative through the end of the quarter indicated and, for periods of less than a year, are not comparable to
the annual data in the upper panel.

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.
Beginning in 1994, the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank revised its survey considerably. Many questions were
changed and it was not always possible to match the data to the categories that we have shown in previous
editions of the Databook, Whenever possible, we have tried to fit the data from the revised survey into the
older format. Series that were discontinued show no data for the first quarter, while those that were added
suddenly appear. When a significant break in the data occurred, we included the new data and added a footnote
to highlight the changes.
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 8 3 4 , Chicago, Illinois, 6 0 6 9 0
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 about 450 banks.
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Federal Reserve P.O. Station, Kansas City Missouri 6 4 1 9 8
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; 323 banks responded to the latest survey.
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Minnesota 5 5 4 8 0
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. As outlined above, the Minneapolis survey was changed considerably beginning in the first quarter of
1 9 9 4 c
In the most recent survey, 1 3 8 banks responded to the survey.




Section III: (continued)

FpHpral Rpsprva Bank of Dallas. P.O. Box 655906. Dallas, Texas 75265 -5906
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 221 respondents.
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Richmond, Virginia 23261
,
Tn_
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:
Bankers responding to the surveys indicate that farm loan demand continued on a course of moderate expansion
through early 1994. In all districts that report, the proportion of respondents who noted that demand for
loans was higher than normal was greater than at the same point in 1993. Relative to early 1993, repayment
rates for loans worsened slightly according to bankers that were surveyed in the Kansas City and Chicago
districts„ perhaps owing to some lingering financial problems associated with the flooding in several
Midwestern states in the summer of 1993. However, bankers that were surveyed in the Minneapolis district,
where flood damage also was substantial, reported some improvement in the rate of repayment of farm loans.
Renewals and extensions were up in all Districts except Dallas.
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 --by wide margins - - the number of those reporting diminished fund
availability. In most districts, a large majority of the respondents still characterizes its current loan-todeposit ratio as being lower than desired.
Rates of interest on farm loans remained about flat in the first quarter of 1994. The timing of the surveys
varies across districts, and the recent surge in rates in the general economy began roughly in the middle of
the quarter. As a result, next quarter's Databook should provide a clearer picture of the effect of recent
fluctuations in interest rates on farm lending markets.
Prices for farmland picked up in all districts according to the first-quarter surveys. Ranchland seemed to
show the strongest gains, perhaps reflecting the persistent strength of cattle through early 1994. Increases
for cropland generally were less, with year-over-year changes ranging from -1 percent for irrigated land in
the Dallas district to 6 percent in the Minneapolis district.
