Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Commodity price hedging: We had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 59 million and 109 million bushels of corn as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We also had outstanding swap contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 28 million mmbtus of natural gas as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Foreign currency hedging: We hedge certain assets using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $489 million and $694 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We also hedge certain liabilities using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $147 million and $182 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
We hedge certain assets using foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $394 million and $449 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We also hedge certain liability positions using foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $483 million and $621 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Interest rate hedging: We periodically enter into T-Locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes. We have settled T-Locks associated with the issuance of our senior notes due in 2030 and 2050. The realized loss upon settlement of these T-Locks was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and is amortized into earnings over the term of the senior notes. We did not have outstanding T-Locks as of either September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
The derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges included in AOCL as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:
