Summary

To get discount privileges with a Farm Credit System bank, any organization other than State banks, trust companies, and savings associations must give that bank a written consent allowing examiners sent by the Farm Credit Administration to inspect them when directed. State banks, trust companies, and savings associations can also be required to give written consent so that their state exam reports can be shared with the Farm Credit Administration if it asks.
