As a Farm Credit System director, I am writing to express my concern that FCA's recently proposed rule on
collateral evaluation will have a negative impact on the agricultural producers, agribusinesses, and other customers
we serve. The rule would slow the loan-making process and place needless cost and burden on producers without
any real benefit to the safety and soundness of Farm Credit System institutions. I respectfully ask FCA to withdraw
the rule and engage Farm Credit System representatives in a constructive dialog designed to identify an approach
to collateral evaluation requirements that is farmer friendly, recognizes modern practices, and simplifies the credit
delivery process.

Thank you for your consideration.
