Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) local control by farmer and rancher borrowers in the Farm Credit System should not be diminished; and (2) wide-scale consolidations and mergers of Federal land bank associations and production credit associations should not be pursued by the Farm Credit System or accomplished through coercive action such as the threat of liquidation of dissenting associations.
