The Ag Census and FCA's National Charters proposal (August 2001)

Bert Ely

American Bankers Association, 2001, vol. 15, issue 01

Abstract: Just-released economic data from the USDA's 1997 Census of Agriculture confirms what bankers have always known - commercial banks do a much better job than the FCS in lending to young, beginning and small farmers as well as to women and minority borrowers. Clearly, the FCS is ignoring the very farmers on which it is supposed to focus. This situation will worsen if the Farm Credit Administration adopts its pending National Charters proposal.
