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 third quarter of 1990; the other data generally were available only through the second quarter of
1990.

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 substantive questions may be addressed to Nicholas Walraven
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:
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 are virtually the same as 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 allow
for loans that are not for agricultural purposes.

Recent developments:
The volume of outstanding farm loans held by the major institutional lenders continued to trend
gradually lower in the second quarter of 1990; in total, these loans were down about 1-1/4 percent from the
level of a year earlier, a slightly smaller year-to-year rate of decline than was observed over the preceding
three quarters. The reduction in outstanding loans from mid—1989 to mid-1990 was concentrated in the loans
held by the Farmers Home Administration, which has been resolving loan problems that had accumulated through
the 1980s. The outstanding volume of farm loans held by other institutional lenders in mid-1990 was up about
2 percent from a year earlier.
In the second quarter, commercial banks and the institutions of the Farm
Credit System recorded seasonal increases in the volume of nonreal estate loans that were a bit stronger than
those seen in the second quarter of the two previous years. In addition, the volume of farm real estate loans
held by commercial banks continued to trend upward, and the farm real estate loans held by life insurance
companies rose for the fourth consecutive quarter. The farm real estate loans of the Farm Credit System
continued on a course of moderate decline.

SOURCES OF DATA;
These data on the farm loans 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.
Beginning in August of 1989, the data are being drawn from a new, redesigned sample of 250 banks that is no
longer part of the broader survey. In choosing the new sample, banks are stratified according to their volume
of farm lending; previously, they had been stratified according to the volume of total loans. As before,
however, the sample data are being expanded into national estimates for all commercial banks. In the August
1990 survey, about 210 banks reported at least one farm loan, and the number of sample loans totaled about
5000, more than twice the number typically reported in the quarterly surveys that were done before the sample
was redesigned.
The new panel of farm banks also was chosen so that the regional mix of sample banks corresponds roughly to
the geographic distribution of outstanding farm loans; over time, as more experience is gained with the new
sample, it may become possible to examine regional differences in the terms of agricultural lending.
In both the previous survey and the new one, the national estimates exhibit variability due to sampling error.
This variability is particularly evident in data on average maturity, which are greatly affected by the




SECTION II:

(CONTINUED;

occasional appearance of loans with a maturity of about 20 years.
In addition, the breakdown of national
estimates into those for large banks and small banks may be affected somewhat by the new sampling procedures
that were implemented in August 1989; apparent shifts in the data as of that date therefore should be treated
with caution.
More detailed results from each quarterly survey are published in Table 5 of Statistical Release E.2, "Survey
of Terms of Bank Lending," for which a mailing list is maintained by Publications Services, Mail Stop 138,
Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C., 20551.
Starting with the August 1986 survey, farm loans secured by
real estate are included in the data shown in Statistical Release E.2, whereas such loans are excluded from
the tabulations presented here.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
Results from the quarterly survey that was conducted in August 1990 were heavily influenced by the terms of
lending on some unusually large farm loans. Apart from these loans (which, by purpose of loan, show up mainly
in the "other" category), the terms of lending appeared to be little changed from those of previous quarters.
The estimated number of loans made by all commercial banks was 2.59 million at an annual rate, around the
middle of the ranoe of recent quarters. For the first three quarters of 1990, the estimated number of loans
made did not differ greatly from the number made over a similar period of 1989, both in total and for the
various categories of loans. The estimated volume of new lending (Table II.A) in the first three quarters of
1990 was up £z< • .he level of a year earlier; by purpose of loan, the categories showing the largest gains
relative to a \ ir earlier were the loans made for feeder livestock and the residual "other" category of farm
loans.
The interest , . t - on nonreal estate farm loans (Table II.E) were little changed for most categories of loans
from mid-May to mid-August, although the average rate, overall, was pulled down sharply, to 10.9 percent, by
the relatively low rates on the aforementioned large loans. As shown in the last column of Table II.G, almost
three-fourths of the loans made in the mid-August survey week carried an effective interest rate between 11.0
percent and 12.9 percent; a similar proportion of loans had fallen in this same range in the May 1990 survey.

1. Percentage distribution of the total dollar amount of nonreal estate farm loans of
$1,000 or more made by insured commercial banks during the week covered by the survey,
which is the first full business week of the month specified.
Data are estimates from the Federal Reserve survey of terms of bank lending to farmers.
Percentages may not add to 100 because of rounding.
* In the August 1990 survey, the number of loans made at interest rates between 8.0 and
8.9 percent were less than 0.5 percent of total loans made.

SOURCES OF DATA:
The data in tables III.A through III.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 III.A and table III.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.
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 III.C through table III.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 16.08 percent in June of 1990.
Failures of banks (table III.H) are obtained from news releases of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
with agricultural banks defined, as above, by the amount of farm loans relative to total loans that they hold.




SECTION III: (continued)

Recent Developments:
The volume of delinquent farm nonreal estate loans fell in the second quarter of 1990, reflecting a decline
in loans past due 30 to 89 days (table III.A). The volume of nonaccrual loans remained low, amounting to
1.8 percent of total farm nonreal estate loans; this level probably is roughly in line with normal business
operations. By comparison, nonaccrual loans of all types at commercial banks amounted to 2.7 percent of total
loan volume. Total net charge-offs (table III.B) were very small for the nation through the first half of
1990, largely reflecting net recoveries in a number of states, including California, Nebraska, South Dakota,
and Iowa that mostly offset continued chargeoffs in Texas, Washington, Oklahoma, and North Dakota. Most other
states had small positive net chargeoffs.
According to a variety of indicators, the financial performance of agricultural banks improved
further during the first half of 1990. Only about one in ten agricultural banks had nonperforming loans that
amounted to more than 5 percent of total loans (table III.C), and the proportion of banks that had large
amounts of net charge-offs fell compared to a year earlier (table III.D). Data through the first half suggest
that agricultural banks are earning returns at about the same rate as in the first half of the past several
years (table III.F). Also, agricultural banks have continued to earn slightly better returns than nonagricultural banks of a similar size. The ratio of loans to deposits at agricultural banks (table III.G)
remains at a relatively low level, indicating that agricultural banks, on average, have had ample funds to
lend to farmers. Fewer agricultural banks have failed thus far in 1990 than in the comparable period of any
year since 1983 (table III.H).

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 leans are based on a study of delinquent total loans at these banks.

SOURCES OF DATA:
Data are from quarterly surveys of agricultural credit conditions at commercial banks conducted at the end of
each quarter by five Federal Reserve Banks. Each of these banks issues a more detailed quarterly report on
its survey results, available from its Research Department at the address given below. 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. Important
differences in the type of banks surveyed are noted 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 and has included roughly 900 banks in recent quarters.
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Federal Reserve P.O. Station, Kansas City Missouri 64198
The sample chosen originally in 1976 consisted of 188 banks selected from among banks at which farm loans
constituted 50 percent or more of total loans, with appropriate representation of all farm areas. In recent
quarters, the sample has included about 150 banks.




26
Section IV: (continued)

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. Currently the sample includes 325 banks and in recent quarters the rate of responses has averaged
roughly 50 percent.
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. About 300 banks have been responding to the survey in
recent quarters.
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia 23261
The sample selected in 1975 consisted of 43 banks of all sizes.
loans were sampled more heavily.

Banks with the larger amounts of farm

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
The Reserve Banks' surveys of agricultural credit conditions that were conducted around the end of the second
quarter of 1990 showed little change from the trends evident in previous quarters. In most districts, the
number of banks reporting an increased demand for farm loans outnumbered those reporting decreases, by roughly
the same margin as in the preceding quarter (Tables IV.A). Looking ahead to the third quarter, respondents to
the surveys generally were anticipating increased demand for farm loans to finance operating expenses and the
purchase of machinery; the demand for loans for other purposes was expected to be sluggish, however.
Little change was evident in the second quarter in banks' availability of funds for farm lending. Loan-todeposit ratios in the second quarter edged up seasonally in several of the districts, but were little
different from those reported a year earlier. The number of respondents who characterized their ratios as
being lower-than-desired continued to greatly outnumber those who viewed their loan-to-deposit ratios as being
too high.




Section IV: (continued)

Repayment problems on farm loans were not widely evident as of mid-1990. As shown in Table IV.A, the
percentage of banks reporting that loan repayment rates were slower than normal declined in all of the
districts in the second quarter; in several districts, these percentages were around the lows of recent
years.
The Reserve Bank surveys indicate that the interest rates on farm loans (Table IV.D) changed little in the
second quarter and generally were about 1/2 percentage point below the rates of a year earlier.
Land prices, on average, still appeared to be trending up at mid-year, according to the Reserve Bank surveys.
In most districts, the year-to-year gains were in a range of 5 to 8 percent. In the Dallas district, however,
the prices of ranchland still were declining at mid-year, and the gains for other types of farm land in that
district were little changed from the levels of a year earlier.
