Washington, D.C. – The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac, NYSE:  AGM and AGM.A) today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Michael A.

Lowell L. Junkins, Acting Chairman of the Board, noted that “Mike Gerber has provided tremendous leadership to Farmer Mac over the last five months—a critical time period for the company.  During his tenure, the company has successfully raised net new capital of $115 million through private investors and implemented a new program to encourage guarantee and purchase transactions with commercial banks and Farm Credit System institutions.  Mike has the vision and leadership skills to advance Farmer Mac’s mission and continue Farmer Mac’s invaluable service to rural America.”
 
Mr. Gerber has been a member of the Farmer Mac Board since June 2007 and served as a member of the Finance Committee and the Marketing Committee.  He was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Farm Credit of Western New York from 1998 through February 2009 and served as that institution’s Executive Vice President from 1994 to 1998.  From 1992 to 1994, Mr. Gerber was Credit Supervisor and Director of Financial Services for the former Farm Credit System Southern New England Association.  Mr. Gerber currently serves as a director of several agriculture-related organizations.
