Many investors are unfamiliar with agricultural investing, at Farmland Stock Exchange, we make it easy for investors and farmers to partner together to preserve American farmland while building a secure legacy. It starts with putting the farmer first.
Why invest in farmland?
Historically, farmland has been on par with or outperformed the S&P 500. As the cost of living increases, so does the value of farmland and the revenues it generates. Farmland values continue to rise due to rising global food demands, technological advancements in farming and the loss of usable farmland. Investing in farmland is a great way to diversify your portfolio while reducing risk. Farmland is also a real, tangible, sustainable asset that produces a resource the world will always need…food.
How does investing in farmland help farmers?
At Farmland Stock Exchange we know that farmers are the best people to make decisions about their farms which is why we allow farmers control over their land while putting safeguards in place to ensure proper stewardship of the asset. With our Farm Legacy Loan, farms are able to buy farmland while investors secure half of the loan on the farm. By partnering with investors, farmers are able to access long-term capital to grow their farms to ensure maximum productivity and profit.
