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 by Federal Reserve Banks. Other portions 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 2008; the other data generally were available through the second quarter

of 2008.

Parts or all of the Agricultural Finance Databook may be copied and distributed freely. Any redistribution

Federal Reserve Statistical Release E.15 – Agricultural Finance Databook

Section A: Amount and Characteristics of Farm Loans Made by Commercial Banks

These data are for non-real-estate farm loans of $3,000 or more made by commercial banks.1 They 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.

Since May 1997, the Federal Reserve has collected data on the assessment by the lender of the risk associated with each loan, the next date that the rate of interest could be adjusted, whether the loan was

callable by the bank, and whether the borrower could prepay the loan without penalty. Over time, the

data on the lender’s perception of the riskiness of farm loans should help provide a better picture of the

effect of fluctuations in the creditworthiness of farm borrowers as farm financial conditions or the broader

economic environment changes. The new data on loan repricing dates, the callability of the loan, and the

existence of prepayment penalties should help to refine estimates of the duration of farm loans made by

commercial banks.

Tables A.8 through A.13 contain most of the new data, whereas the other tables in this section show

estimates that are comparable to those that have been presented for a number of years. However, for several

quarters while the new survey was being designed, banks that left the survey panel were not replaced

immediately because new replacement banks would soon have been forced to revise their newly instituted

reporting procedures when the new survey form went into effect. As a result, the size of the survey panel

dwindled through early 1997, and an unusually large number of new reporters (about 25) were added with

the May 1997 survey. This change did not affect the validity of the May survey information, but it likely

introduced sampling error, especially when the May survey results are compared with those of previous

quarters.

The format and the information contained in the tables are likely to change as more of the new survey

information is acquired.

Since November 1991, several survey statistics have been estimated for each of ten farm production regions as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture. These statistics, which are presented in

table A.14, should be treated with some caution. Although an effort was made to choose a good regional

mix of banks for the panel, the panel never has been stratified by region. Consequently, the survey results

are less precise for each region than for the totals for the nation. More-detailed results from each quarterly

survey were previously published in Statistical Release E.2A, Survey of Terms of Bank Lending to Farmers. Since February 1992, these results have been included at the end of section A of the databook. The

E.2A was discontinued in February 1992.

1Before May 2006, loans of more than $1,000 were included in the survey.

 A.8. Characteristics of Bank Loans to Farmers -- All Banks, by Size of Loan, August 4-8, 2008 (cont.) 1. Average maturities are weighted by loan size and exclude loans with no stated maturity. 2. The repricing interval measures the period from the date the loan is made until it first may be repriced. For floating-rate loans that ar at any time--such as many prime-based loans--the repricing interval is zero. For floating rate loans that have a scheduled repricing interv the number of days between the date the loan is made and the date on which it is next scheduled to reprice. For loans having rates that re matures (fixed-rate loans), the interval measures the number of days between the date the loan is made and the date on which it matures.  are assumed to reprice on the business day after they are made. 3.

Federal Reserve Statistical Release E.15 – Agricultural Finance Databook 

Section B: Selected Statistics from the Quarterly Reports of Condition of Commercial Banks 

The data in tables B.1 through B.8 are prepared using data from the quarterly reports of condition and income for 

commercial banks. These reports changed substantially beginning in March 2001, and the information on the 

delinquencies and charge-offs of non-real-estate farm loans after that date is not directly comparable to that shown in 

earlier editions of the databook. Under the new system, banks with more than $300 million in assets or banks with 

foreign offices report the same information as before. However, smaller banks at which farm production loans account 

for more than 5 percent of total loans now report the same information on delinquencies and charge-offs of farm 

production loans that larger bank do. In the new reporting system, small banks at which farm production loans account 

for less than 5 percent of total loans are excused from reporting delinquencies or charge-offs of farm production loans. 

Before March 2001, these small banks had reported delinquencies and charge-offs of "agricultural loans" according to 

each bank’s own definition, and we used these responses to help estimate total delinquencies of farm production loans. 

Under the new reporting system, the totals for the nation as a whole include estimates of delinquencies and charge-offs 

of non-real-estate farm loans for small banks that hold about 35 percent of the volume of such loans that is outstanding. 

 All banks continue to report delinquencies and charge-offs of loans that are secured by farm real estate, which are 

shown in tables B.4 and B.5. 

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 B.4 through table B.9 are those that have a proportion 

of farm loans (real-estate plus non-real-estate) to total loans that is greater than the unweighted average at all banks. 

The current estimate of this average can be found in the far right column of table B.8. 

Information about failed banks (table B.9) is obtained from news releases of the Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation, with agricultural banks in our tabulation defined as in the previous paragraph.

Federal Reserve Statistical Release E.15 – Agricultural Finance Databook

Section C: Reserve Bank Surveys of Farm Credit Conditions and Farm Land Values 

Data are from quarterly surveys of agricultural credit conditions at commercial banks. Currently, these surveys are 

conducted during each quarter in six Federal Reserve districts. The surveys differ considerably in size, as is noted in 

the information below. They also 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. 

In the second quarter of 2002, the Kansas City and Minneapolis Federal Reserve Banks revised their surveys. 

Questions were changed, and it was not always possible to match the data to the categories that were shown in 

previous editions of the databook. Whenever possible, the data from the revised survey were fit into the older 

format. Series that were discontinued show no data for the second quarter, whereas new series show no data for the 

previous quarters. When a significant break in the data occurred, the new data were included and a footnote was 

added to highlight the changes. 

Due the sample size and the nature of the San Francisco District land values, the sampling error is particularly large 

in that district. In coming quarters, surveys from the Cleveland and Philadelphia Federal Reserve Banks are expected 

to be included in the databook. 

Research departments at 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 about 450 banks. 

Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Federal Reserve P.O. Station, Kansas City, Missouri 64198 

The original sample chosen in 1976 had 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; roughly 280 banks responded to the latest 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 in farm lending. Members 

of the Upper Midwest Agricultural Credit Council formed the core of the survey panel. 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 changed considerably beginning in the first quarter of 1994. In recent surveys, about 120 

banks responded. 

Federal Reserve 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 that 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 200 

respondents. 

Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia 23261 

The number of agricultural banks in this District is much smaller than that in the other Districts. When the survey 

was initiated in 1975, the sample consisted of forty-three banks of all sizes; banks with larger amounts of farm loans 

were sampled more heavily. More recently, the sample has consisted of about thirty banks, roughly three-fourths of 

which typically respond to the quarterly surveys.
