Agricultural Finance Review, 2021, vol. 82, issue 2, 397-416

Abstract: Purpose - This paper uses novel data from a secondary market to assess how loans from nontraditional agricultural real estate lenders (NARELs) differ from traditional sources. Over $2 billion in loans from these entities were purchased by the secondary market between 2011 and 2020, but a lack of data has prevented a robust understanding of how these institutions operate. Design/methodology/approach - The authors review loans from nontraditional lenders through their lifecycle in the secondary market from application to purchase and performance. Findings - This paper finds no observable differences between nontraditional and traditional volumes with regards to borrower credit characteristics, loan approval rates, interest margins and loan performance. It finds significant differences between loan volumes and variable rate product use. Originality/value - This is the first paper to use internal lender data to review nontraditional agricultural real estate loans and is the first analysis of nontraditional agricultural volumes in the secondary market.
