Abstract: The federal government has often taken an active role in providing credit to the agricultural sector. This paper identifies the federal credit legislation enacted during the 1948-79 time period and develops a model to establish an association between credit legislation and underlying economic forces. This model showed the debt-equity ratio and bankruptcy rate as being positively related to the demand for legislation.
