Abstract: Agricultural lenders were surveyed to clarify the problems faced by financially stressed farm borrowers and the appropriate Cooperative Extension Service response in educational programming. Agricultural lenders indicated: (1) financial planning and marketing are skills which need most improvement, (2) farm records are more inadequate for financial planning and enterprise management than for tax planning, and (3) farm wives should be targeted for workshops because most married borrowers have the wife keeping the financial records. In conducting borrower training programs, workshops are the preferred delivery mechanism and the Cooperative Extension Service and agricultural lenders are preferred training institutions.
