LOANS | LOANS Farmer Mac classifies loans as either held for investment or held for sale. Loans held for investment are recorded at the unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premium or discount and other cost basis adjustments. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value determined on a pooled basis. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Farmer Mac had no loans held for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Farmer Mac sold a portion of a Corporate AgFinance agricultural storage and processing loan at a loss of $1.1 million to reduce the overall exposure to the borrower. Under the Agricultural Finance line of business, Farmer Mac has two segments – Farm & Ranch and Corporate AgFinance. The segments are characterized by similarities in risk attributes and the manner in which Farmer Mac monitors and assesses credit risk.
