WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac; NYSE: AGM and AGM.A), the nation’s secondary market provider that increases the accessibility of financing to provide vital liquidity for American agriculture and rural infrastructure, announced today that it has completed a $313.5 million securitization of agricultural mortgage loans.
“The successful completion of our seventh agricultural mortgage-backed securitization demonstrates our commitment to grow our securitization platform and support a vibrant and liquid AMBS market that is central to our core mission to improve credit accessibility in rural America,” said Chief Executive Officer, Brad Nordholm. “This transaction reflects the strength of Farmer Mac’s portfolio, as agricultural assets continue to generate significant institutional investor demand despite the volatile macroeconomic climate.”
The mortgage pool for FARM Series 2025-2 consists of 343 agricultural mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $313.5 million. The loans in the pool were underwritten to Farmer Mac’s industry-leading standards. This deal included a $290.0 million senior tranche guaranteed by Farmer Mac and a $23.5 million unguaranteed subordinate tranche. The senior tranche reflects an enhanced sophistication of the securitization by offering notes in three classes, A, A-1, and A-2, each of which are guaranteed by Farmer Mac. These three guaranteed classes provide for differing principal repayment cashflows, which provided more investment options and drove new investor demand.
“We are very pleased with the tremendous support we’ve seen for this program and look forward to exploring other credit risk transfer opportunities to grow our platform while continuing to deliver high-quality opportunities for our investors,” said President and Chief Operating Officer, Zack Carpenter. “We anticipate introducing a new product in the market next year that will support the strong investor demand for agricultural assets, while also remaining in alignment with our mission fulfillment.”
