The recent $289 million sale of 46 farms across eight states by Farmland Partners Inc. to Farmland Reserve Inc. (the real estate arm of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is a MONSTER move in the usually quiet world of farmland investing. This transaction is a case study of farmland’s strength as a "total return" investment. Here’s why… Farmland Partners' President and CEO, Luca Fabbri, stated: “Farmland is a 'total return' investment, with asset appreciation typically accounting for a majority of the overall return. We have consistently advised shareholders that our company is undervalued due to lack of recognition by the market of the appreciation in our asset base.” I read this sale as a way for Farmland Partners to prove its long-term investment thesis. Farmland offers unique value, building wealth through both cash flow and land appreciation. But this requires a special kind of patience and a long-term vision. For investors with a 15+ year horizon, the rewards can be substantial. (This transaction resulted in a $50 million gain — approximately 21% over the aggregate net book value of the farms.) Good news for our north-central Iowa landowners: Farmland Partners kept its Illinois farmland, which it notes is "among the most valuable land that it owns.”

2 of my favorite asset classes: 1️⃣ Farmland... 2️⃣ Commercial Real Estate The goal of farmland ownership varies for some but a necessity for others: • family legacy • support family farm • hedge against inflation • portfolio diversification • long-term steady appreciation Commercial real estate offers: • diversification • recession resistance • an easier path of entry • greater capital appreciation • stronger cash flow & returns • better tax advantages thru depreciation Leveraging the benefits of 1 for the other: Many of us in the Farm Raised investment community share common goals in leveraging the short-term benefits of commercial real estate to position us to shift to ownership in farmland - the long term legacy we wish to leave for family.

#Farmland access in the US should not depend on investor portfolios. About 50% of U.S. farmland is owned by non-operator landlords. 95% of farmers in the US are white men in their 50s. “For Latino farmers, on the other hand, the ownership of land is related to self-determination, on being able to do the type of operation that they want,” Pereyra has observed in her work. Thanks, Grey Moran, for another great article about Farmland access in the US and how farmers of color are locked out of the system https://lnkd.in/eYrqxD9U

Inheriting farmland can be a lot to process and can leave you unsure on what to do next. Do you want to operate the farm yourself? Have it managed and rented to a tenant? Sell the land? Our area reps are here to help and make it simple, whether that's a sale, farm management, or consulting in the transition process.

Why Invest in Farmland? The value of US Farmland = $1.5 Trillion The farmland market is different than most real estate since it is not institutionalized and is a non-traditional asset category. Farmland deals are widely private transactions that never see the open market – making it difficult for an outside investor to participate without an extensive localized network. As an asset class, farmland provides long term appreciation while offering stable return rates, less volatility and lower risk. AgVest Advisors provides full-service sourcing and ongoing management services to facilitate direct farmland investments for institutions, family offices, and sophisticated investors. Our exclusive specialization in farmland investments offers our clients proprietary investment strategies, meticulous acquisition negotiations, and productive management plans based on their specific needs and portfolio objectives. https://lnkd.in/ecRD5dN #AgVestAdvisors #FarmlandInvestments #SustainableInvesting #Agriculture #Investment #WealthManagement
