Money available for farmer loans survey finds banks lending steady
A March survey by the Agriculture Department across 12 states shows no overall loan funds shortage for farms, but marginal operators may face credit issues. About 6 percent of bank borrowers were refused loans, up from 4 percent, while PCA refusals rose as well. Refinancing into real estate debt increased sharply, and common causes cited include poor management, inadequate equity, and weak income prospects.
