What borrowers look for in an agricultural lender

Michael A Jackson

American Bankers Association, 1988, vol. 01, issue 4

Abstract: There are three strata of American farms: increasingly marginal family farms, "sundown farms" which only supplement other income, and corporate farms either owned or just run by their operators and devoted to profit through specialization, economies of scale, diversification, and vertical integration. The latter farms have gross receipts over $500,000 generally and are key in any capital market, but demand more than loyalty from banks; they also want financial planning and value-added services.
