Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
ORGANIZATION | ORGANIZATION The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("Farmer Mac") is a stockholder-owned, federally chartered instrumentality of the United States established under Title VIII of the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended (12 U.S.C. §§ 2279aa et seq.), which is sometimes referred to as Farmer Mac's charter. Farmer Mac was originally created by the United States Congress to provide a secondary market for a variety of loans made to borrowers in rural America. This secondary market is designed to increase the availability of long-term credit at stable interest rates to America's rural communities and to provide rural borrowers with the benefits of capital markets pricing and product innovation. Farmer Mac's secondary market activities include: •purchasing eligible loans directly from lenders (including participation interests, syndicated notes, revolving and non-revolving credit facilities, and unfunded commitments to make advances on loans); •guaranteeing and purchasing securities issued by lenders and other financial institutions that are secured by pools of eligible loans (Farmer Mac refers to these securities as "AgVantage," a registered trademark of Farmer Mac); •issuing and guaranteeing securities that represent interests in, or obligations secured by, pools of eligible loans (together with AgVantage, Farmer Mac refers to these securities as "Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities"); •servicing (including as master servicer) eligible loans purchased or securitized by Farmer Mac; and •providing long-term standby purchase commitments ("LTSPCs") for eligible loans. Farmer Mac conducts its secondary market activities through two lines of business — Agricultural Finance and Rural Infrastructure Finance. For more information about those lines of business and the segments within them, see Note 14 - Business Segments.
