Jim,
BB&T may be a good bank but the 30 day deliquencies to allowances ratio is 1.67 above the national average for all banks at 1.44 (by contracst TCF Financial is at .75).  I am looking for banks down in that area, below the national average and that "appear" to have set up allowances that are adequate, with little credit card or auto exposure.
 
Ifou look at their farmland loans and farm loans they represent only.35% of the total loans, so their exposure is not there, more on the commercial side of things?

Thanks Jim, I will take a look.  My premise here is "the baby may have been thrown out with the bath water" with some of these more conservative banks?

I?d recommend BB&T, a regional.  When they were a client (I was with KPMG in the ?70s) they were a farming bank out of Wilson NC.  They knew farms and rural areas.  That?s they?re only limitation in your site and all their other loan categories are excellent.  And concerning farms, food might be pretty important to the world.  Jim Rogers on CNBC (George Soros? partner) said he was buying Brazilian farmland a couple weeks ago.  Presumably, food will become more scarce in the future?.and hence more valuable.  I feel like BB&T would know their farmland lending pretty well.  In addition, they have the CDARS program.  You can buy CDs over the $250K limit at their bank and the CDARS program will spread it among several CDARS member banks to get you full FDIC coverage.  You can pick out the banks you want the money to go to.  Very convenient as opposed to dealing with a half dozen banks and keeping track of a half dozen levels of paperwork and maturities?.all on one statement and one window to shop.

Cool site!

Check out your local bank (Find Bank) to see how they are doing?

Note the deliquency rate rating by loan type on a banks main page and under the Delinquency to Allowance tab whether they are out in front with reserves or way behind (more rightdowns coming.

A wealth of information here.

If you see a particularly good conservative one in your area, please post it here.

One I am watching (and own in the past two weeks) is TCF Financial (TCB) http://wlmlab.com/bkHm.asp?inst=HC2389941
