FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                       CONTACT
October 22, 2002                                            Jerome Oslick
                                                            202-872-7700


                       Farmer Mac Achieves Strong Earnings

                   Confirms Analyst Expectations for the Year


     Washington,  D.C. -- The Federal Agricultural  Mortgage Corporation (Farmer
Mac, NYSE: AGM and AGMA) today  announced that net income for third quarter 2002
was $5.0  million or $0.42 per  diluted  share and $18.5  million,  or $1.54 per
diluted share, for the year-to-date.  Later in this release, Farmer Mac provides
supplemental  information about the impact of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities
("FAS 133"),  which reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.07 in third quarter
2002 to the level referenced above.

     Farmer Mac President and Chief  Executive  Officer Henry D. Edelman stated,
"Farmer  Mac's strong third  quarter  performance  continues to  underscore  the
soundness of its business  approach  and  financial  strength as it fulfills its
mission  to  serve  America's  farmers,  ranchers  and  rural  homeowners.  This
quarter's  volume of new business took our 2002  year-to-date  volume above 2001
full-year  results,  even though - as anticipated - new business volume was less
than in recent  quarters.  The drop in new  business  volume was a result of the
normal seasonal slowdown in new agricultural mortgage loans,  anticipated in the
third quarter of each year,  compounded by the dampening effect of adverse media
coverage  on  business  during the spring and  summer  months.  For the  current
quarter,  our new business prospects have looked past that media coverage and we
are seeing a resumption of normal interest in our business.

     "This quarter's  financial  results  demonstrate the  annuity-like  revenue
stream of our business model and the benefits of yield maintenance protection in
a declining interest rate environment.  These items mitigated the effects on our
financial performance of the increased professional and regulatory fees incurred
during the quarter.

     "We are also pleased with the overall performance of our portfolio of loans
underlying our guarantees and Long-Term Standby Purchase Commitments ("LTSPCs").
As we have  noted  in the  past,  Farmer  Mac  anticipates  fluctuations  in the
delinquencies, both in dollars and as a percentage of the outstanding portfolio,
with  higher  levels  likely at the end of the first and third  quarters of each
year due to the semi-annual  payment  characteristics  of most Farmer Mac loans.
Consistent with that pattern,  seriously  delinquent  loans in the third quarter
were  slightly  higher,  in  dollars,  than  they were at the close of the first
quarter  2002 and,  in  percentage  terms,  below the levels at the close of the
first  quarter  2002  and of  the  first  and  third  quarters  of  2001.  These
semi-annual  trends are  indicative  of the  positive  results  of ongoing  loan
servicing and loss mitigation efforts,  offset by the continued  maturation of a
significant segment of Farmer Mac's portfolio of guarantees and commitments into
its peak default years, and a weaker agricultural economy.

     "We  believe  that  Farmer  Mac is on track to meet or  exceed  the  market
analyst's current projection for its financial performance in 2002."

Net Interest Income

     Net interest  income reached $10.0 million for third quarter 2002 and $26.3
million  year-to-date,  compared to $7.9 million and $19.7  million for the same
periods in 2001. The net interest yield,  which does not include  guarantee fees
for loans  purchased  prior to April 1, 2001 (the effective date of Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments  of Liabilities  ("FAS 140")),  was 103
basis  points for third  quarter  2002,  compared to 93 basis  points for second
quarter 2002 and 98 basis points for third quarter 2001. The net interest yields
for third quarter 2002,  second quarter 2002 and third quarter 2001 included the
benefits of yield maintenance  payments of 15 basis points, 7 basis points and 9
basis points, respectively.  The effect of the adoption of FAS 140 for the third
quarter  2002 was a  reclassification  of  approximately  $0.6  million (6 basis
points) of guarantee  fee income as interest  income.  Adjusted to eliminate the
effects of both yield  maintenance  and the effects of FAS 140, the net interest
yields for third quarter 2002,  second  quarter 2002 and third quarter 2001 were
82 basis points, 79 basis points and 89 basis points, respectively.

Guarantee Fees

     Guarantee fees, which include  commitment fees, were $4.9 million for third
quarter 2002,  compared to $4.7 million for second quarter 2002 and $4.2 million
for third  quarter  2001.  The relative  increase in guarantee  fees reflects an
increase in the  average  balance of  outstanding  guarantees  and  commitments.
Excluding the effects of the adoption of FAS 140 that  reclassified $0.6 million
of guarantee  fee income as interest  income,  guarantee  fees for third quarter
2002 would have been $5.5 million.

Operating Expenses

     Operating expenses totaled $3.9 million for third quarter 2002, compared to
$3.0 million for second  quarter 2002 and $2.5 million for third  quarter  2001.
The increase in operating  expenses in third  quarter  2002  primarily  reflects
higher legal,  consulting  and regulatory  fees. The Farm Credit  Administration
("FCA"),  the federal agency with direct  regulatory  authority over Farmer Mac,
has  advised  Farmer  Mac that its  regulatory  assessment  for  October 1, 2002
through  September 30, 2003 will be an estimated $1.4 million,  an increase from
the  estimated  $0.7  million for October 1, 2001  through  September  30, 2002.
Operating  expenses as a percentage  of operating  revenues  were 25 percent for
third  quarter  2002,  compared  to 22 percent  for second  quarter  2002 and 21
percent for third quarter 2001.

Credit

     As of  September  30, 2002,  Farmer Mac I loans  purchased,  guaranteed  or
committed to be purchased under its LTSPC Program since the enactment in 1996 of
changes to Farmer Mac's statutory charter ("post-1996 Act loans"),  both on- and
off-balance  sheet,  that  were 90 days or more  past due,  in  foreclosure,  in
bankruptcy and REO ("real estate owned")  totaled $91.3 million and  represented
2.03 percent of the principal  balance of all post-1996 Act loans. This compares
to $65.2  million  (1.45  percent)  as of June 30,  2002,  $87.1  million  (2.32
percent) as of March 31, 2002,  and $71.7 million (2.16 percent) as of September
30, 2001.  (Farmer Mac assumes 100 percent of the credit risk on  post-1996  Act
loans;  pre-1996 Act loans are  supported  by mandatory 10 percent  subordinated
interests  that  mitigate  Farmer Mac's  credit  exposure.)  The  year-over-year
increase in dollars is reflective  of the continued  maturation of a significant
segment of Farmer Mac's  portfolio of guarantees and  commitments  into its peak
default  years.  The  year-over-year  decline in the ratio of  delinquencies  to
outstanding  guarantees  and  commitments  is  reflective  of the  growth of the
portfolio.

     Farmer Mac conducts  loan-by-loan  analyses of its  delinquencies to assess
the value of the  collateral  supporting  each  individual  loan relative to the
total amount due, including principal,  interest and expenses. In the event that
the updated or  discounted  collateral  value does not support the total  amount
due, Farmer Mac specifically  allocates reserves to the loan. Farmer Mac charges
off losses  against the reserve for losses when  management  believes a loss has
occurred,  but no  later  than  when the  Corporation  takes  possession  of the
property.  As of September 30, 2002, Farmer Mac's  loan-by-loan  analysis of the
updated or  discounted  collateral  values for its $91.3  million of  delinquent
loans  indicated  that $79.2  million of the  delinquent  loans were  adequately
collateralized,  while  $12.1  million  had  insufficient  collateral  to  cover
principal,  interest and expenses.  Farmer Mac has  specifically  allocated $2.2
million of reserves to those  under-collateralized  loans.  As of September  30,
2002,  after the allocation of specific  reserves to those  under-collateralized
loans,  Farmer Mac had  additional  non-specific  or general  reserves  of $16.9
million, bringing total reserves to $19.1 million.

     Based on Farmer Mac's loan-by-loan  analyses,  loan collection  experience,
and continuing  provisions for the reserve for losses,  Farmer Mac believes that
ongoing  losses will be covered  adequately  by the  reserve for losses.  During
third  quarter 2002,  Farmer Mac charged off $1.5 million in losses  against the
reserve for losses. In certain collateral liquidation scenarios,  Farmer Mac may
recover  amounts   previously   charged  off  or  incur  additional  losses,  if
liquidation  proceeds vary from previous  estimates.  During third quarter 2002,
Farmer Mac recovered  $317,000 of previously charged off losses. As of September
30, 2002, the  weighted-average  original  loan-to-value ratio for all post-1996
Act loans was 49 percent, and the weighted-average  original loan-to-value ratio
for delinquent loans was 56 percent.  Farmer Mac's provision for losses was $2.0
million for third quarter 2002, compared to $2.0 million for second quarter 2002
and $2.0 million for third quarter 2001. As of September 30, 2002,  Farmer Mac's
reserve for losses totaled $19.1 million,  or 42 basis points of the outstanding
post-1996 Act loans and AMBS,  compared to $18.3 million (41 basis points) as of
June 30, 2002 and $14.7 million (44 basis points) as of September 30, 2001.

Provision for Income Taxes

     The  provision for income taxes totaled $2.3 million for third quarter 2002
and $7.5 million year-to-date, compared to $2.5 million and $6.1 million for the
same periods in 2001. Farmer Mac's effective tax rate for third quarter 2002 was
29.5 percent  compared to 30.1 percent for second  quarter 2002 and 33.1 percent
for 2001.  The reduction in the rate from the prior year reflects the effects of
certain tax-advantaged investment securities.

Capital

     Farmer Mac's core capital  totaled $181.1 million as of September 30, 2002,
compared to $126.0 million as of December 31, 2001 and $176.2 million as of June
30, 2002. The regulatory  methodology for calculating  core capital excludes the
effects of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("FAS 115") and FAS 133, which
are reported on Farmer Mac's balance sheet as  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income.  Farmer  Mac's core  capital  as of  September  30,  2002  exceeded  the
statutory minimum capital  requirement of $129.7 million by approximately  $51.4
million.

     The FCA issued its final  risk-based  capital  regulation for Farmer Mac on
April 12, 2001 and the Corporation  was required to meet the risk-based  capital
standards  beginning  on May  23,  2002.  The  risk-based  capital  stress  test
promulgated by the FCA ("RBC test"), determines the amount of regulatory capital
(core  capital plus loss  reserves)  Farmer Mac would need to maintain  positive
capital during a ten-year period while incurring credit losses equivalent to the
highest  historical  two-year  agricultural  mortgage loss rates and an interest
rate shock at the lesser of 600 basis points or 50 percent of the ten-year  U.S.
Treasury  rate. The RBC test then adds an additional 30 percent to the resulting
capital  requirement  for  management  and  operational  risk.  Farmer Mac is in
compliance  with the risk-based  capital  standards  under the regulation and is
confident that Farmer Mac will continue to be in compliance.

     As of September  30,  2002,  the RBC test  generated a  regulatory  capital
requirement of $59.4 million.  Farmer Mac's regulatory capital of $200.2 million
exceeded  that  amount by  approximately  $140.8  million.  The  decrease in the
risk-based  capital  requirement from June 30, 2002 ($80.1 million) to September
30, 2002 ($59.4  million)  was a result of changes in  interest  rates,  and the
seasoning of Farmer Mac's portfolio. The Corporation is required to hold capital
at the  higher  of the  statutory  minimum  capital  requirement  or the  amount
required by the RBC test.

     Average return on common equity excluding any extraordinary  items was 12.9
percent for third  quarter  2002,  as compared to 16.4 percent for third quarter
2001 and 17.6 percent for second  quarter  2002.  The effects of FAS 133 and FAS
115 reduced the average return on common equity by 3.4 percent for third quarter
2002 and 1.3 percent for third quarter 2001, and increased the average return on
common equity by 0.8 percent for second quarter 2002.

Interest Rate Risk

     The most  comprehensive  measure of Farmer Mac's  interest rate risk is the
sensitivity  of Market Value of Equity  ("MVE") to uniform or  "parallel"  yield
curve shocks.  As of September 30, 2002, a parallel increase of 100 basis points
across the entire U.S.  Treasury  yield curve would increase MVE by 7.9 percent,
while a parallel decrease of 100 basis points would decrease MVE by 7.5 percent.
As of September 30, 2002, a parallel increase of 100 basis points would increase
Farmer Mac's Net Interest  Income  ("NII"),  a shorter-term  measure of interest
rate risk, by 5.5 percent,  while a parallel  decrease of 100 basis points would
decrease NII by 3.9 percent.  Farmer Mac also measures the  sensitivity  of both
MVE and NII to a variety of non-parallel  interest rate shocks. Farmer Mac's MVE
and NII are less sensitive to those non-parallel shocks than to parallel shocks.
Finally,  Farmer Mac's duration gap, a static measure of interest rate risk, was
minus 4.4 months as of September 30, 2002.

     The economic  effects of derivatives,  including  interest rate swaps,  are
included  in the MVE,  NII and  duration  gap  analyses.  Farmer Mac enters into
contracts  in which the  Corporation  pays fixed rates of interest  and receives
floating  rates  of  interest  from  counterparties.   These  "floating-to-fixed
interest rate swaps" are used to adjust the  characteristics  of short-term debt
to match more closely the cash flow and duration  characteristics of longer-term
mortgages,  thereby  reducing  interest rate risk, and also to derive an overall
lower  effective  fixed-rate cost of borrowing than would otherwise be available
in the conventional debt market. As of September 30, 2002, Farmer Mac had $741.5
million  notional  amount of  floating-to-fixed  interest  rate  swaps for terms
ranging from 2 to 15 years.

     Farmer Mac uses  derivatives as an end-user for hedging  purposes,  not for
speculative purposes. All of Farmer Mac's derivative  transactions are conducted
through  standard,  collateralized  agreements that limit Farmer Mac's potential
credit exposure to any counterparty. As of September 30, 2002, Farmer Mac had no
uncollateralized net exposure to any counterparty.

Derivatives and Financial Statement Effects of FAS 133

     Farmer  Mac  accounts  for its  derivatives  under  FAS 133,  which  became
effective January 1, 2001. The implementation of FAS 133 resulted in significant
accounting changes to both the Corporation's income statement and balance sheet.
During third quarter 2002, the reduction in net after-tax  income resulting from
FAS 133 was  $943,000,  and the net  after-tax  decrease  in  accumulated  other
comprehensive income was $19.0 million. For second quarter 2002, the increase in
net  after-tax  income  and the net  after-tax  increase  in  accumulated  other
comprehensive  income  resulting  from FAS 133 were $149,500 and $14.6  million,
respectively. For third quarter 2001, the reductions in net after-tax income and
accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from FAS 133 were $190,000, and
$14.1 million,  respectively.  Accumulated other  comprehensive  income is not a
component of Farmer Mac's regulatory core capital.

     Net income for third  quarter 2002  included the effects of FAS 133,  which
were a net reduction of $0.07 per diluted share. Accordingly,  diluted operating
earnings per share were a record $0.49, a 17 percent increase over third quarter
2001 diluted operating  earnings per share of $0.42.  Operating income reached a
record  $5.9  million  for the  third  quarter  2002 and $17.0  million  for the
year-to-date, compared to $5.0 million and $12.3 million for the same periods in
2001.

Forward-Looking Statements

     In   addition   to   historical   information,    this   release   includes
forward-looking  statements that reflect  management's  current expectations for
Farmer  Mac's  future  financial   results,   business  prospects  and  business
developments.  Management's  expectations  for Farmer Mac's  future  necessarily
involve  assumptions,  estimates and the evaluation of risks and  uncertainties.
Various  factors could cause actual events or results to differ  materially from
those expectations.  Some of the important factors that could cause Farmer Mac's
actual  results to differ  materially  from  management's  expectations  include
uncertainties  regarding:  (1) the rate and direction of the  development of the
secondary  market  for  agricultural  mortgage  loans;  (2)  the  effect  on the
agricultural  economy resulting from low commodity prices,  weak demand for U.S.
agricultural products and crop damage from natural disasters;  (3) the effect on
the agricultural  economy of federal assistance for agriculture  provided for in
the farm bill  enacted last Spring;  (4) the possible  effect of the  risk-based
capital  requirement which could, under certain  circumstances,  be in excess of
the  statutory  minimum  capital  level;  (5)  the  possible   establishment  of
additional legislative or regulatory restrictions on Farmer Mac; (6) the outcome
of the pending analysis of Farmer Mac by the General  Accounting Office; and (7)
Farmer Mac's continuing access to the debt markets at favorable rates and terms.
Other  factors are  discussed in Farmer Mac's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year  ended  December  31,  2001,  as filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  ("SEC") on March 27, 2002, and Farmer Mac's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter  ended June 30,  2002,  as filed with the SEC on August 14,
2002. The  forward-looking  statements  contained herein represent  management's
expectations as of the date of this release. Farmer Mac undertakes no obligation
to  release  publicly  the  results  of any  revisions  to  the  forward-looking
statements included herein to reflect events or circumstances after today, or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated  events, except as otherwise mandated by
the SEC.
