About Federal Agricultural Mortgage C
About Federal Agricultural Mortgage C
Seven reportable segments spanning Farm & Ranch, Corporate AgFinance, Power & Utilities, Broadband Infrastructure, and Renewable Energy form the operational core of Farmer Mac — the sole federally-chartered secondary market for U.S. agricultural mortgage loans, infrastructure loans, and USDA Securities — which held $8.4 billion in AgVantage securities outstanding and $5.4 billion in contingent LTSPC and guarantee liabilities at December 31, 2025. The Farm Credit Administration regulates Farmer Mac under 12 C.F.R. §§ 652.1-652.45.
Farmer Mac earns net interest income on loans and securities held on balance sheet and collects guarantee and commitment fees on LTSPCs and securitization transactions, with charter-capped guarantee fee rates of no more than 50 basis points per year. Funding relies on public capital-market debt issuance, where the company competes with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Home Loan Banks, and FCS institutions for investor capital. Counterparty concentration is a defining feature of both business lines: in 2025, ten institutions generated approximately 55% of loan purchase volume in the Agricultural Finance segment, while two institutions represented nearly all of the Infrastructure Finance business volume. AgVantage securities — general obligations of institutional counterparties collateralized by pools of Eligible Loans — amplify this pattern further, with approximately 90.6% of the $8.4 billion outstanding balance issued by three institutions at December 31, 2025.
Show full overview
Farmer Mac's counterparty concentration is measurable and explicitly flagged in the 10-K: $7.6 billion of the $8.4 billion in AgVantage securities outstanding had been issued by three counterparties at December 31, 2025, and taking possession of collateral upon a counterparty default could increase current expected credit losses and raise capital requirements. In June 2026, Farmer Mac disclosed via Form 8-K the retirement of President and CEO Bradford T. Nordholm, adding a management transition dimension alongside the counterparty concentration profile.
