Obtain More Land with Investors (Crowd Source Funding)

Guest Robert Moore w/ Acre Trader:o He is the Investment Manager for Row Crops; I work with a team to source, structure, and fund deals onacretrader.com. I see my role primarily as a translator between farmers and investors as our investmentmandate is focused around finding opportunities that are a clear, long term win for both the farmer andoperator.  What is AcreTrader?o platform connecting operators to investorso crowdsourcing structure we give retail investors access to the asset class at a fractional cost Who can invest through AcreTrader?o a minimum investment may be between $5 - 50k rather than the millions it takes to buy a whole farm.o At present we have over 100,000 registered users on the site and about $350m in AUM across row cropoperations, permanent crop operations, and timber, most of which has been funded in the past 18months.  Why has this concept been so popular?o The vast majority of the deals funded on our platform are brought to us by operators. So when a farmer has a piece of property they want to begin farming (or continue farming if alandlord is selling out from under them) but aren't in a position to buy in full, investors step in tofill the purchase price. o Alongside a rapidly growing global population and demand for food, farmland offers a truly diversifiedinvestment opportunity with attractive long-term returns.  How does the ROI compare to other investment classes?o Stocks, Bonds, Gold, Etc…. o Speed, Expertise, Flexibility Where do you guys do business at?o We are currently active in 18 states, though are able to work nationwide and plan to continue expansionas operator need dictates.   Farm4Profit…..that’s what our listeners care about. How does this help?o There are lots of options for farmers to seek capital; the advantage of ours puts the financial risk on theinvestor It’s a transparent/democratic model, centered around the operator.o Farmers can expand their operation or just simply raise capitalo We also have an expanding list of deal structures raising improvement budget for tile/land improvement offering farmers opportunities to be partial owners sale/leasebacks  Is finding an investor partner something that is hard to do?o AcreTrader manages all the investors so the farmer can focus exclusively on farming the ground. What works “well” with Acre Trader?o What doesn’t work “well” with Acre Trader? Did we miss anything? What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Summary Closing Want Farm4Profit Merch?  Custom order your favorite items today!https://farmfocused.com/farm-4profit/ Don’t forget to like the podcast on all platforms and leave a review where ever you listen! Website: www.Farm4Profit.comShareable episode link: https://intro-to-farm4profit.simplecast.comEmail address: Farm4profitllc@gmail.comCall/Text: 515.207.9640Subscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSR8c1BrCjNDDI_Acku5XqwFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farm4profitllc Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Farm4ProfitLLC/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
