The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp. provides funding for farm loans. Chartered by the government, it packages loans into securities for sale to investors. It also invests in agricultural mortgages and mortgage-backed securities. Like government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it goes by a nickname, Farmer Mac. But unlike those mainstays of the housing finance system, it says its investment portfolio and its sector of the economy have not been affected by the erosion in housing credit.
