== History ==
== Products and Services ==
Farms Technology's Dynamic Pricing Platform (DPP) is where farmers log in to make, manage, and monitor their offers to sell grain. The platform gives producers the ability to do business with grain buyers 24 hours a day, without having to be near a phone or market quotes. The DPP watches every tick of the markets for them and its job is to get the producers the price they want. When that price is achieved, the DPP locks it in for them, and they are mailed a contract. If that price is not achieved, the producer pays nothing.

Federal Home Loan Banks

The Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB) are a system of 12 banks located in different areas of the United States that were originally created in 1932 to help banks and other institutions after the effects of the depression. They offer below market-rate loans to members for long-term financing for housing and economic development that benefits low- and moderate- income families and neighborhoods. The federal home loan banks are privately capitalized, government-sponsored enterprises.
The FHLBs are located in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Des Moines, Indianapolis, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle, and Topeka. Each bank serves a separate, non-overlapping district within the United States.
The banks operate a Community Investment Program (CIP), which is is designed to be a catalyst for economic development because it supports projects that create and preserve jobs and help build infrastructure to support growth. Lenders have used CIP to fund owner-occupied and rental housing, construct roads, bridges, retail stores, sewage treatment plants and provide small business loans.
Oversight for the federal home loan banks is provided by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, created by congress in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, ensuring that they operate safely, carry out their housing and community development finance mission, and remain adequately capitalized so they are able to raise funds in the capital markets.

Federal Housing Finance Agency

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) regulates Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks. As of October of 2008, these government-sponsored enterprises provide more than $6.2 trillion in funding for the U.S. mortgage markets and financial institutions.
 
FHFA was formed by a legislative merger of the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) mission team.
== History ==
FHFA was created on July 30, 2008, when the Office of the President signed into law the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The act created an empowered regulator with all of the authorities necessary to oversee vital components of U.S. secondary mortgage markets – Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks. 
The law also combined the staffs of OFHEO, FHFB and the GSE mission office at HUD. The hope was that the establishment of FHFA would promote a stronger, safer U.S. housing finance system. As of June 2008, the combined debt and obligations of these GSEs totaled $6.6 trillion, exceeding the total publicly held debt of the USA by $1.3 trillion. The GSEs also purchased or guaranteed 84 percent of new mortgages.

Federal Housing Finance Board

The Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) was an independent agency of the United States Government, created by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). In the aftermath of the savings and loan crisis, the FHFB took over supervision of the Federal Home Loan Banks from the now-defunct Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB"). (The Office of Thrift Supervision took over most other functions of the FHLBB.) On July 30, 2008, the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 combined the FHFB and the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) to form the new Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), and the FHFB ceased to exist one year later, on July 30, 2009.
The FHFB used to provide regulatory oversight of the nation's Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs). The twelve regional FHLBs are privately-held government sponsored enterprises that ensure the supply of funds to local lenders that, in turn, finance loans for home mortgages. The FHLBs are located in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Des Moines, Indianapolis, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle, and Topeka. Each bank serves a separate, non-overlapping district within the United States.

Federal Open Market Committee

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the group of the Federal Reserve that is responsible for open market operations. The FOMC sets interest rates either directly (by changing the discount rate) or through the use of open market operations (by buying and selling government securities that affect the federal funds rate). The FOMC is headed by the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. This is currently Jerome Powell. 
== Formation and History==
The FOMC was formed by the Banking Act of 1933 and did not include voting rights for the Board of Governors. The Banking Act of 1935 revised these protocols to include the Board of Governors and to closely resemble the present-day FOMC. 
The Banking Act was amended in 1942 to create the current structure of 12 voting members.
== Composition ==
The FOMC is composed of the seven members of the Board of Governors, including the chairman, and five Reserve Bank presidents. The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York serves on a continuous basis. The presidents of the other Reserve Banks serve on a rotating basis for one-year terms beginning on Jan. 1 of each year. 
Rotation is conducted so that each year one member is elected to the Committee by the Boards of Directors of each of the following groups of Reserve Banks: Boston, Philadelphia, and Richmond; Cleveland and Chicago; Atlanta, St. Louis, and Dallas; and Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San Francisco. 
== Current Committee Members ==
As of 2018, members of the FOMC are:
*Jerome H. Powell, Board of Governors, Chairman
*John C. Williams, New York, Vice Chairman
*Thomas I. Barkin, Richmond
*Raphael W. Bostic, Atlanta
*Michelle W. Bowman, Board of Governors
