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 of 1993; the other data generally were available only 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 Walraven, Michael Ott,
Michele Ricci, 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.
New subscriptions to the Databook (Statistical Release E.15) may be entered by sending a mailing address

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 11 . 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 May, 1993, 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 never been
stratified by region. Consequently, the survey results are less precise for each region than for the totals
for the nation.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
The number of nonreal estate farm loans made by banks edged down in the third quarter of 1993; however, the
level still is in the same range as we have seen for the past year. The average size of loans edged down as
well: the average for the first full week of August 1993 was about $30 thousand dollars per loan. As in the
past several years, the pattern of variation in loan size has tended to dominate the related series on the
amount of loans made, which also turned down in the third quarter.
The average effective interest rate on nonreal estate farm loans was unchanged in the August, as a slight
decline in rates for livestock loans offset increases for loans of other purposes.
The average effective
rate of interest has remained stable at about 7-1/2 percent for the past year.
In the August survey, a bit
more than 79 percent of loans were made with a rate of interest that floats, only a touch below the record for
the series that was established last quarter.
The overall weighted average rate of interest including real estate loans was about unchanged in the third
quarter. While changes in the average in particular regions were small and the pattern of changes varied
across regions, the estimated variability of rates for farm loans rose in all areas except the Cornbelt and
Mountain States.

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.H 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.B and table II.C) 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 Databook in the near future when a
sufficient historical series is available, probably with the next issue.
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.D through table II.I 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 16.98 percent in June of 1993.
Information on failed banks (table II. I) 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:
Loans outstanding:
The volume of nonreal estate loans surged almost 8 percent in the second quarter of 1993,
following two quarters of declines that were larger than seasonal.
However, the level of loans of this type
remains a bit below the same period in 1992.
The volume of real estate debt that is held by commercial
banks grew by about 1/2 billion dollars in the second quarter.
This level of
Problem loans:
Delinquent farm nonreal estate loans totalled $1 billion on June 30, 1993.
problem loans amounted to about 2.7 percent of the volume of such loans outstanding, the lowest proportion
of problem farm loans since such data first were reported. As in the first quarter, the volume of net
charge - offs of farm production loans in the second quarter continued to run well below the level of one year
earlier.
About 3/4 of agricultural banks reported a level of nonperforming loans that was less than 2
percent, while roughly the same proportion reported net charge - offs that were less than 0.1 percent of total
loans.
Performance of agricultural banks:
Profits at agricultural banks were quite strong through the first half of
1993.
Cumulative returns for this period amounted to 0.7 percent of assets, putting these banks on track
for the best annual performance in more than a decade.
Both agricultural banks and small nonagricultural
banks used profits to build up capital- - the mid-year reading on the capital ratio was about 1/2 percentage
point higher relative to the mid-1992 reading for both agricultural and nonagricultural banks.
The ratio of
loans to deposits at agricultural banks were above year - earlier levels in all Federal Reserve districts
except the Dallas District.
Failures of agricultural banks:
As of late September, there had been seven failures of agricultural banks in
1993.
While this figure is greater than at this date last year, it is about the same as in 1991, and it is
far below the incidence of failure that was seen annually in 1985 through 1990.

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 b y 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 ot
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 430 banks.
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas Citv. Federal Reserve P.O. Station, Kansas City Missouri 64198
The sample chosen originally in 197 6 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; 318 banks responded to the second - quarter survey.
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Minnesota 55480
#
Before 1987, the sample provided a cross - section of banks of all sizes that were engaged m 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 first quarter of 1993, 157 banks responded to the survey.

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 204 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:
Bankers responding to the surveys indicate that farm loan demand continued on a course of slow-to-moderate
expansion in the second quarter of 1993. The surveys were taken before the flooding in the midwestern states
had become a serious problem--the next issue of the Databook may provide a picture of how the assessment by
bankers of farm conditions was affected by the flooding.
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 ratios as being lower than desired. The exception to this characterization of the availability of
credit was the Minneapolis Federal Reserve district, where the number of banks reporting a ratio of loans to
deposits that was at the desired level roughly equalled the number of banks that wanted to increase lending.
Rates of interest on farm loans edged down further in all districts and for nearly all types of farm loans in
the second quarter. The declines amounted to an additional 10 to 20 basis points in most cases. The rates
that were reported in the second quarter generally were the lowest in about 15 years; some of the rates were
at their lowest levels since the mid-1970s.
The slight pickup in the rate of increase in prices for farmland that was noted in the last edition of the
Databook seems to have persisted in this report. All of the surveys now are showing year-to-year increases in
prices for land, and in some cases, the increase runs to 5 percent or more. A year ago, the surveys were
showing annual increases of about 1 to 3 percent in several of the districts and price declines in some.
