The recent federal bailout of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae has brought to wider attention the performance of other government-backed U.S. lenders, and not all of them have suffered the full impact of the credit crisis. The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, or Farmer Mac, which buys mortgages on farmland from agricultural lenders, has seen profits increase and stock price rise 153 percent this year.
