Other portions of the data come from the quarterly call
report data of commercial banks or from the reports of other financial institutions involved m a g r i c u l t u r a l
lending.
When the current issue went to press, data from the survey of terms of b a n k lending were a v a i l a b l e
for the third quarter of 1994; the other data generally were available midyear.
Parts or all of the Agricultural Finance Databook may be copied and distributed freely.^ Any r e d i s t r i b u t i o n of

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 m o n t h of each
quarter.
Data obtained from the sample are expanded into national estimates for all c o m m e r c i a l banks, w h i c h
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 a g r i c u l t u r a l lending, and
about 150 typically reported at least one farm loan.
Since August of 1989, the data have been drawn from a redesigned sample of 250 banks that is no longer part of
the broader survey.
In the redesigned 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 August 1994 survey,
217 banks reported at least one farm loan, and the number of sample loans totaled 5486.
In both the previous survey and the new one, the national estimates exhibit v a r i a b i l i t y due to sampling error.
The estimates are sensitive to the occasional appearance of very large loans in the sample.
In addition, the
b r e a k d o w n of national estimates into those for large banks and small banks may have b e e n 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, w h e r e a s 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 never been
stratified by region.
Consequently, the survey results are less precise for each region than for the totals
for the nation.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
In the August 1994 survey, the estimated number of nonreal estate farm loans made by banks fell b a c k to about
the m i d d l e of the range seen since 1989.
The average size of loans in the first full w e e k of August was about
$31,000, a bit b e l o w the average that has prevailed for the past couple of years.
The total estimated volume
of loans closed during the first w e e k of August was a shade below the average seen in recent years.
In the August survey, the average effective rate of interest on nonreal estate farm loans edged up 10 basis
points to 7.9 percent.
The increase in August, along with the sharp increase that was recorded in the May
survey, left rates of interest on farm loans at the highest level since the first h a l f of 1992.
Estimated
average rates increased for all sizes of loans and for all types, except those for operating expenses.
In the
August survey, the percentage of loans that were made with a rate of interest that floats was 79 percent,
roughly in line with the upward trend seen since the survey began.
The overall weighted average rate of interest including real estate loans rose 17 basis points in the August
survey.
The standard error of the w e i g h t e d - a v e r a g e rate of interest rose sharply as well, likely reflecting
the varying rates at which the banks in the survey passed along increases in economy-wide rates of interest.
Table I.G offers a historical perspective on changes in the dispersion of rates of interest for nonreal estate
loans.
The average rate of interest charged for farm loans rose in most areas--the m a g n i t u d e of the increases
ranged from about 50 basis points in the Northern Plains to 10 basis points in the M o u n t a i n States.
Rates
declined in the Lake States and in the Delta 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.

'

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.
The incomplete coverage arises because banks with less than $300 million in assets
have been excused from some reporting requirements.
First, these smaller banks report delinquencies and
chargeoffs of "agricultural loans" according to the particular bank's own definition, which may include loans
Furthermore, small banks that hold less than 5 percent of total loans
that are secured by farm,real estate.
as' farm production loans are not required to report any information regarding delinquencies or charge-offs of
"agricultural loans."
In constructing the data presented in the tables, banks that are not required to report
these data are assumed to have the same delinquency rates as those that do report.
Recently, banks began to
report delinquencies of loans that are secured by farm real estate.
These data, which are shown in tables
II.D and II.E, are reported by all banks, regardless of the size of the institution or the relative amounts of
farm loans that they hold.
Because "agricultural loans" and loans secured by farm real estate may overlap for
some small banks, it is unclear whether it is proper to add the data in table II.B to its counterpart in table
II.D to obtain total agricultural delinquencies. A similar caveat applies to the data concerning charge-offs
in tables II.C and II.E.
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
The estimate of this average was 17.42 percent in June of 1994.

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
