(the FCS’ funding arm), the news release reporting the FCS’ 2014 results will be published during the “week of March 9.” The FCS’ annual earnings news releases for the prior two years were dated Feb. 19, 2014, and Feb. 20, 2013. This delayed announcement almost certainly means that the FCS’ audited financial results will be published much later than usual. It will be interesting to read that report’s discussion of FCS ac- counting issues and perhaps other problems. Report FCS Lending Abuses Bankers are continuing to send FCW reports of FCS lending abuses such as FCS loans for rural estates, weekend getaways, and hunting preserves. Email reports of similar lending abuses in your market to green-acres@ely-co.com. Please provide as much detail as possible about any loan that violates the spirit, if not the law, governing FCS lending.  Service is an important piece of the operational puzzle. See how DBE fits.
