      abstract = {The Farm Credit Administration's (FCA) proposed customer  choice regulation will permit aggressive FCS institutions  to lend almost anywhere they want. Driving the  consolidation process are the FCS' empire builders. Four  key FCS empire builders are discussed, including: 1. Doug  Sims, CEO at CoBank, a nationwide cooperative bank, is well  positioned to become the dominant empire builder within the  FCS. 2. Terry Fredrickson, CEO at AgriBank, probably is  FCS' number 2 empire builder as well as a heavy hitter,  pulling down $533,000 in 1997. 3. Coming up fast as the  number 3 empire builder and heavy hitter is Jim Kirk, CEO  at both the AgAmerica and Western FCBs. 4. Jack Webster,  CEO at FCS of America, which until recently was known as  FCS of the Midlands, could become a much bigger player  within the FCS.},
