Okay, little one! Have you ever heard of a farm? That's when people grow food and raise animals out in fields and pastures.
Now, sometimes farmers need to borrow money to help them grow their crops or take care of their animals. That's where the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, or Farmer Mac for short, comes in!
Farmer Mac is a special group set up by the government to help farmers get loans. They work with banks and other lenders to provide money to farmers at reasonable rates, so they can keep growing food for us all to eat.
But there's more! Farmer Mac also helps other people who work in agriculture, like people who make equipment for farmers or run businesses that sell things to them. By helping these folks get loans too, they help keep the whole agricultural industry running smoothly.
So in a way, Farmer Mac is like a special friend to farmers and everyone else who helps make sure we have plenty of yummy veggies and tasty meats to eat!
