FARMER MAC Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation is for general informational purposes only, is current only as of September 30, 2017, and should be read in conjunction with Farmer Mac’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 9, 2017. In the accompanying analysis of its financial information, Farmer Mac uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: core earnings, core earnings per share, and net effective spread. Farmer Mac uses these non-GAAP measures to measure corporate economic performance and develop financial plans because, in management's view, they are useful alternative measures in understanding Farmer Mac's economic performance, transaction economics, and business trends. These non-GAAP financial measures that Farmer Mac uses may not be comparable to similarly labeled non- GAAP financial measures disclosed by other companies. Farmer Mac's disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures is intended to be supplemental in nature, and is not meant to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as more important than, the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Core earnings and core earnings per share principally differ from net income attributable to common stockholders and earnings per common share, respectively, by excluding the effects of fair value fluctuations. These fluctuations are not expected to have a cumulative net impact on Farmer Mac's financial condition or results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP if the related financial instruments are held to maturity, as is expected. Core earnings and core earnings per share also differ from net income attributable to common stockholders and earnings per common share, respectively, by excluding specified infrequent or unusual transactions that Farmer Mac believes are not indicative of future operating results and that may not reflect the trends and economic financial performance of Farmer Mac's core business. Farmer Mac uses net effective spread to measure the net spread Farmer Mac earns between its interest-earning assets and the related net funding costs of these assets. Net effective spread differs from net interest income and net interest yield because it excludes: (1) the amortization of premiums and discounts on assets consolidated at fair value that are amortized as adjustments to yield in interest income over the contractual or estimated remaining lives of the underlying assets; and (2) interest income and interest expense related to consolidated trusts with beneficial interests owned by third parties, which are presented on Farmer Mac's consolidated balance sheets as "Loans held for investment in consolidated trusts, at amortized cost."

Farmer Mac Overview

FARMER MAC World population is expected to grow to 9.8 billion by 2050, while arable land per person is expected to decline over 40% in the same time period USDA projects a 75% increase in total production and consumption of major field crops between 2005 and 2050 • 43% increase in world population • Higher protein diets as incomes in developing countries increase Productivity would need to nearly double by 2050 to feed the world • Thus, extremely high capacity utilization • Creating significant “demand pull” over time Global Outlook – “Demand Pull” 3.0 9.8 0.43 0.18 0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 12.0 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 A R A B L E L A N D P E R C A P IT A (h e c ta re in u s e p e r p e rs o n ) W O R L D P OPU L A T IO N (in b ill io n s ) Population Arable Land per capita FARMER MAC OVERVIEW 14 (1) (2) (1) Source: USDA, Economic Research Service Global Drivers of Agricultural Demand and Supply, September 2014 (2) Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, “World Agriculture Towards 2030/2050,” June 2012

FARMER MAC Farmer Mac’s Unique Market Position Farmer Mac enjoys a unique position, sharing in upside opportunity in strong markets and benefiting from downside protection and increased relative demand in weak markets Strong Market – Farmer Mac can participate in the upside • Situation: Credit is healthy, transaction volumes are high, and capital is plentiful • Impacts on Farmer Mac: – Farmer Mac can benefit from higher industry volumes and healthy credit – However, when farm income is high and capital is plentiful, the relative value of access to GSE capital may be marginally lower – Earnings can benefit from lower credit costs, but spreads may be tighter Weak Market – Farmer Mac can benefit from loss protection and increased demand due to tighter credit conditions • Situation: Declining farm income, land values, and credit quality; less access to capital • Impacts on Farmer Mac: – Farmer Mac can benefit from loss protection given its unique diversified geographic/commodity portfolio and its conservative underwriting standards – Farmer Mac can also benefit from the greater relative value of GSE capital in tighter credit market conditions – However, in bear markets, no entity will be immune to declining credit quality, although spreads may be more favorable FARMER MAC OVERVIEW 15

FARMER MAC Farmer Mac’s Downside Protection Conservative underwriting with significant focus on repayment strength and low LTVs • Total Debt Coverage (TDC) ratio of at least 1.25x • Generally maximum LTVs of 60% to 70%, but in practice average 40% to 45% on mortgages purchased • Require minimum borrower net equity of 50% across all agricultural assets • Significant scrutiny given to property access and access to water, among other items Farmer Mac credits less likely to default as compared to the broader industry • Farmer Mac is generally recognized as having the tightest credit requirements for ag mortgage loans • Primary focus on repayment capacity through stressed input assumptions during underwriting process • Farmer Mac is not a “lender of last resort” • Farm Credit Administration is a strong safety and soundness regulator Farmer Mac credits less likely to incur losses even when a default occurs • Given Farmer Mac’s portfolio average LTV of 44% as of September 30, 2017, average farm asset value losses would need to be in excess of 56% to begin to generate the first dollar of loss to Farmer Mac – “Expected losses” of farm asset values range from 0% to 30% for various commodity types in Farmer Mac’s base case scenario – Farmer Mac’s “stress scenario losses” of farm asset values range from 17% to 50% for various commodity types – The 1980s agricultural credit crisis saw farm asset values decline approximately 23% from peak to trough FARMER MAC OVERVIEW 16 (1) Source: USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service (as of August 2015).

FARMER MAC Agricultural Risk Management Tools Farmers today use a broad array of risk management tools, many of which were not available or not accepted during the ag credit crisis of the 1980s • Many now view costs of hedging simply as a cost of doing business • Have learned from their parents’ experiences in the 1980s • Risk management includes revenue and cost protection and more sophisticated asset liability management Revenue Hedging • Crop insurance – approximately 92% of planted acres to principal crops carry some form of crop insurance • Crop insurance premiums still federally subsidized and losses shared by the federal government • Futures/forward sales – many producers use hedging instruments to sell grain crops forward at planting stage Cost Hedging • Feed costs hedged with futures/forwards • Fertilizer and fuel costs can be similarly hedged • Water availability can be provided via “water banks” and secondary sources of water, e.g. wells • Water costs can also be hedged with forward purchase agreements Debt service is better managed with low absolute leverage levels and better rate options FARMER MAC OVERVIEW 17 (1) Source: USDA, Risk Management Agency 2016 Summary of Business, Net Acres Insured and USDA NASS 2016 Acreage Report.
