§2202b — Title 12 Banks and Banking | U.S. Code

Summary

When a Farm Credit Bank cancels part of a borrower's loan, the borrower's Federal land bank association must cancel the same dollar amount of the borrower's stock tied to that loan, up to what the borrower owns. If the bank's capital rules allow, the bank must also cancel an equal amount of the association's stock. Production credit associations must do the same. A borrower must be allowed to keep at least one share so they remain a member and can vote.
