Assessment

According to USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) reports and Farm Income and Wealth Statistics data for 2022–2023, the Farm Credit System (FCS)—a nationwide network of borrower-owned cooperatives—held a 49% market share of total U.S. farm real estate debt (with commercial banks holding approximately 32%). This precisely supports Brian Philpot's statement that the Farm Credit System co-ops hold approximately 50% of the agricultural real estate lending market.

USDA ERS report 'Commercial banks and the Farm Credit System dominate farm sector lending' (August 2024) confirms the Farm Credit System provided almost half of all real estate loans to the farm sector in 2022.
USDA-ERS Farm Income and Wealth Statistics specify that the Farm Credit System held a 49% market share of U.S. farm real estate debt in 2022.
