PURPOSE: Congress recently established the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, "Farmer Mac," to establish a secondary market in farm real estate loans. The comptroller of the currency has authorized national banks to invest in the stock of this agency to the extent necessary to participate in the secondary market. State-chartered banks must have the same authority in order to compete on an equal basis.
