During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Farmer Mac called $1.9 billion and $0.3 billion of callable medium-term notes, respectively. The decrease in market interest rates throughout 2019 and continuing into the first half of 2020 led to an increase in called medium-term notes compared to the prior year.

Authority to Borrow from the U.S. Treasury

Farmer Mac's statutory charter authorizes it, upon satisfying certain conditions, to borrow up to $1.5 billion from the U.S. Treasury through the issuance of debt obligations to the U.S. Treasury. Any funds borrowed from the U.S. Treasury may be used solely for the purpose of fulfilling Farmer Mac's guarantee obligations. Any debt obligations issued by Farmer Mac under this authority would bear interest at a rate determined by the U.S. Treasury, taking into consideration the average rate on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States as of the last day of the last calendar month ending before the date of the purchase of the obligations from Farmer Mac. The charter requires Farmer Mac to repurchase any of its debt obligations held by the U.S. Treasury within a reasonable time. As of June 30, 2020, Farmer Mac had not used this borrowing authority.

Gains on Repurchase of Outstanding Debt

No outstanding debt repurchases were made in the six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.
