      abstract = {Total agricultural credit expanded for the 4th consecutive  year to $155.5 billion in 1996. Agricultural loans held by  banks increased $2.5 billion to $61 billion. Despite this  expansion in farm lending by banks, however, the industry's  share of agricultural credit - 39% - declined for the first  time since 1981. The US' 3,247 farm banks had strong  earnings in 1996 driven by increasing loan volume and lower  operating costs. Farm banks earned a record $2 billion in  1996, $146 million higher than the amount earned in 1995.},
