Deep dives
Farmland as a Smart Investment
Farmland has emerged as a consistently reliable investment, having provided over 10% annualized returns for the past 30 years with significantly lower volatility compared to stocks and bonds. Despite its potential, institutional ownership of U.S. farmland remains below 3%, suggesting a considerable opportunity for growth and diversification. Farmland LP is capitalizing on this by converting high-quality farmland to organic and regenerative agricultural practices, which may enhance land values and cash flow. A webinar for registered investment advisors highlights the benefits of integrating farmland into client portfolios and offers insights into accessing this alternative investment.
