Any investing is part art and part science. Superficially, it may seem easy to come up with expected cash flows from a piece of farmland and discount it back to come up with a present value estimate for what the property should be worth. Under a lease agreement with a farmer, cash flows may be relatively predictable in the short term. However, farmland prices depend on much more than the current rate of return or what a farmer may be currently willing to rent it for.
The blog is about anything related to investment in US agricultural farmland, specifically for crops. This includes commodity crops, produce, and permanent crops. However, this blog is about farmland and investing, and hopes to go into the detail of both the macro and micro factors that may affect any investment in farmland. Just as with any other asset class, there is no good or bad farmland to invest in, but rater good or bad prices to buy or sell farmland.
