TRANSCRIPT
FARMER MAC
Grain prices fell in 2015 due to record plantings/yields; livestock also under pressure
• U.S. agricultural product use increased 6% in 2015; however, ending stocks also increased due to record
grain production
• Exports decreased 7%, driven by a stronger dollar and greater competition in overseas markets
Farm income declined 38% in 2015
• At $56 billion, 2015 projected farm income falls below the 10-year average of $83 billion
• Livestock profitability diminished in 2015 on lower prices
• Dairy prices remain pressured as a result of increased production and lower overseas demand
Average inflation-adjusted U.S. agricultural real estate values decreased 3% in 2015
• Corn belt farmland values down between 4% and 5% as falling grain prices reduced regional income
• Rest of U.S. land values remain stable to modestly increasing, led by demand for pasture ground
• Continued softening of land values in grain-heavy states into 2016
Land sales transactions have slowed with lower income and declining land values
• However, demographic trend (average age of U.S. farmer >60 years) provides support of primary
transaction volume

Farmer Mac Programs
Purchase Commitments – LTSPC
How it Works:
Lender identifies the loans for which it is seeking credit protection
and specifies what degree of protection it is seeking (full, partial,
etc.)
Farmer Mac reviews the loans and approves them according to its
standard credit requirements
Once approved, the lender pays an annual commitment fee for the
protection, retains the loans on its own balance sheet and continues
to earn the interest
If the loan defaults at 90 days, Farmer Mac purchases the loan at par

FARMER MAC
Farmer Mac Programs
Purchase Commitments – LTSPC
Key Features:
Lender eliminates all, or part, of the credit risk on the identified
loans
With full credit protection, the risk weighting on the loans can drop
from 100% to as little as 20%, thereby improving the lender’s equity
position (discuss this with your regulator)
Lender retains the loans on its balance sheet, earns the interest on
these loans, and maintains the customer relationship
Very flexible way to manage credit risk, while not having to “say no”
to a customer – you can continue to grow with that customer
