Investing in US Farmland Alongside Farmers
feat. Farmers Business Network
A new model to protect your investment portfolio against inflation
On a fundamental level, farmland value benefits from growing demand associated with a rising population and limited supply made even more limited by urban sprawl and climate change; farmland in the US has appreciated 5.9% per year since 1940. And that performance has only been bolstered during times of inflation and broader market volatility. Farmland is an uncorrelated asset class that performs well in times of inflation and reduces investor exposure to the broader market. Our co-investment model gives investors easy access to some of the highest quality farms in the US while enabling family farmers to own land longer term, an alignment that increases returns while also incentivizing more sustainable management practices.
Farmers Business Network is the leading direct-to-farm ag tech platform dedicated to helping family farmers maximize their farm’s profit potential. Farmland Capital, a new tool from FBN, provides minority equity capital for farmers looking to buy a new farm or refinance existing farmland.
