JD Vance funded AcreTrader. Here’s why that matters.
— Farmlandgrab.org, September 18, 2024
“This investor-driven farmland ‘gold rush’ has come with many unintended consequences for agriculture and farmers. It has led to the consolidation of farmland in regions with high-value land, while pricing out the farmers unable to compete with major investors for farmland. This has led land-strapped farmers to either drop out of farming or become tenant farmers, operating farms on rented land.”

Team — did you know that GOP VP pick JD Vance was an investor behind one of the biggest corporations buying farmland across the country?
JD invested over $60,000 in the company that has been called “like Uber for buying U.S. farmland” which prices out family farms, forces farmers to farm on rented land, and hurts the agriculture industry as a whole. Between 2008 and 2013, the percentage of farmland owned by investors increased by 231%.
We can’t trust JD and the GOP’s agenda for our farms. Will you pitch in $10 or more right now to help us defeat the MAGA agenda in Illinois’ 13th District?
