You may not know this, but endowments, pension funds, and the ultra wealthy have
quietly stowed funds in farmland for decades...and it's paid off.
U.S. Farmland owners made a 15.8% return on their land investment in 2008. And
that was in the midst of the biggest recession in U.S. history since WWII.
Investments in farmland have generated average returns of
11% per year for the past 30 years*, staying positive through the
dot-com crash, Covid-19, and the Great Recession. In fact, farmland outperforms
most other major asset classes on most fronts.
