EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A LOOK INSIDE...
This whitepaper delves into the active farmer-focused approach to U.S. farmland investment—which favors investing with, not against, successful owner-operators. You will find insight into the mechanisms, benefits, and potential challenges farmland investors face, while contrasting it with the traditional passive non-operator landlord model.
We discuss how powerful secular forces are transforming the practice of farming and creating a rare opportunity for outside capital to gain exposure to a notoriously difficult asset class to enter while earning excess returns by investing in the nation’s best farmers.
Finally, we highlight how fragmented agricultural capital markets can provide a farmer-focused investment strategy with a competitive moat. From understanding the symbiotic relationship between investors and owner-operators to navigating the complexities of agribusiness dynamics, we embark on a journey that promises not only financial gains but also a lasting impact on America’s agricultural landscape and rural communities.
