Capital Farm Credit Code of Ethics 

Capital Farm Credit (CFC) adopted this code of ethics (the “Code”) which applies to every director, officer, and employee. We are committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest ethical standards as set forth in CFC’s Standards of Conduct Program and accompanying or related policies and procedures.
Capital Farm Credit is responsible for the preparation and distribution of its financial statements and related disclosures. Such information must be true, accurate, relevant, and complete when distributed to the Funding Corporation for use in preparing the Farm Credit System financial statements and related disclosures.
Accordingly, CFC expects and requires all of its directors, officers, employees, and agents to maintain the highest standards of personal and professional integrity in all aspects of their business transactions and activities. This includes complying with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. This also includes deterring wrongdoing and abiding by our Standards of Conduct Program and other policies and procedures that govern the conduct of CFC directors, officers, employees, and agents. To achieve these high ethical standards, conflicts of interest and self-dealing should be avoided.
The Code is incorporated into our overall Standards of Conduct Program and reaffirms the high standards of business conduct required of CFC and its directors, officers, and employees as set forth in 12 C.F.R. §612.2135. Terms referenced in this Code of Ethics are defined in CFC’s Standards of Conduct procedures.
