Wells Fargo Leads Ag Lending

For the 15th consecutive year, Wells Fargo & Company is the nation’s top agricultural business lender in total dollar volume, according to the most recent data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The company extended approximately $9.2 billion in agricultural loans in 2010, a 2% decrease from $9.4 billion in 2009, yet still three times greater than its closest rivals and well ahead of all its commercial-banking competitors. In addition, Wells Fargo remains one of the nation’s leading providers of crop and livestock insurance. ◆
