Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b)           Fred L. Dailey, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Farmer Mac, at the December 5, 2007 meeting of the Farmer Mac Board advised that, were he to file on January 4, 2008 as a Republican candidate for U.S. Representative in Congress for the 18th District of Ohio (where the incumbent, a Democrat, sits on the House Committee on Agriculture and that committee’s Subcommittee on Credit, both of which have oversight jurisdiction over Farmer Mac) and win the Republican nomination for that seat in the primary election on March 4, 2008, he would resign from the Farmer Mac Board upon certification of the results of that primary election.  Mr. Dailey did, in fact, file as a candidate on January 4, 2008, and unofficial results published by the Ohio Secretary of State show that Mr. Dailey won the March 4, 2008 primary with 39.13% of the vote, compared to 30.90% for the next-closest candidate.  Farmer Mac expects the results to be certified by the Ohio Secretary of State in the near future, although it is not currently known when formal certification will be made.
