The unrealized losses presented above are principally due to higher interest rates from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2018 and 2017, as applicable. The unrealized losses on the held-to-maturity USDA Securities as of both December 31, 2018 and 2017 reflect their increased cost basis resulting from their transfer to held-to-maturity as of October 1, 2016.

The credit exposure related to Farmer Mac's USDA Guarantees line of business is covered by the full faith and credit guarantee of the United States.

The unrealized losses from AgVantage securities were on 38 and 36 available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were 43 and 23 held-to-maturity AgVantage securities with an unrealized loss as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, 21 available-for-sale AgVantage securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months. As of December 31, 2017, 16 available-for-sale AgVantage securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months. Farmer Mac has concluded that none of the unrealized losses on its held-to-maturity Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities and USDA Securities and available-for-sale Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities are other-than-temporary impaired as of either December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.  Farmer Mac does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that Farmer Mac will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis.

During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, Farmer Mac realized no gains or losses from the sale of Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities and USDA Securities.

The amortized cost, fair value, and weighted-average yield of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities and USDA Securities by remaining contractual maturity as of December 31, 2018 are set forth below. The balances presented are based on their final maturities, although the actual maturities may differ due to prepayments of the underlying assets.
