Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Commodity price hedging: We had outstanding futures and option contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 96 million and 109 million bushels of corn as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We also had outstanding swap contracts that hedged the forecasted purchase of approximately 26 million and 28 million mmbtus of natural gas as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Foreign currency hedging: We hedge certain assets using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $445 million and $694 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We also hedge certain liabilities using foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $171 million and $182 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
We hedge certain assets using foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $328 million and $449 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We also hedge certain liability positions using foreign currency cash flow hedging instruments, which had a notional value of $480 million and $621 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Interest rate hedging: We periodically enter into T-Locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes. We have settled T-Locks associated with the issuance of our senior notes due in 2030 and 2050. The realized loss upon settlement of these T-Locks was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and is amortized into earnings over the term of the senior notes. We did not have outstanding T-Locks as of either March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
The derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges included in AOCL as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:
