Explaining differences in farm lending among banks

Article Abstract:

The factors influencing cross-sectional differences in banks' agricultural production lending operations are examined. The study focuses on both, but makes distinctions between, the structural attributes of banks and the characteristics of the markets in which the bank operates. Findings show that banks have a greater tendency to lend to agricultural borrowers near their branches, while large banks and those with headquarters in a Metropolitan Statistical Area are less likely to engage in farm lending.
