The National Agricultural Law Center offers a wide
range of resources, one of which is the Finance and Credit Reading Room
available here.
Typically, farmers must borrow large amounts of capital
to operate and maintain their farming operations. As a result, federal and state statutes,
regulations, case law, and lending institutions are important aspects that
affect agricultural production.
Some major sources of capital for agricultural producers are commercial banks, the Farm Credit System, the Farm Service
Agency, or insurance companies.
The Finance and Credit Reading Room provides
information on major statutes, relevant regulations, links to the case law
index for Finance and Credit, administrative law decisions, Center research
publications, relevant Congressional Research Service reports, and many other
resources.
These resources are provided by the National
Agricultural Law Center as a free service to the public.
