The Agricultural Finance Databook is a compilation of various data on current developments in agricultural
finance.  Large portions of the data come from regular surveys conducted by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System or by Federal Reserve Banks.  Other portions come from the quarterly Call
Report data of commercial banks or from the reports of other financial institutions involved in agricultural
lending.  When the current issue went to press, data from the Survey of Terms of Bank Lending were
available for the second quarter of 2004; the other data generally were available through the first quarter
of 2004.

Parts or all of the Agricultural Finance Databook may be copied and distributed freely.  Any redistribution
of selected parts of the databook should be accompanied by the front cover identifying the databook and
