Investing vs. Green Acres
Green Acres…
Who would have thought investment ideas would come from the 1970s television series Green Acres? Eddie and Eva may have been well ahead of their time when they left New York's Park Avenue for greener pastures.
Farmland is far more complex and valuable than plain dirt and was one of the central themes of the "World Agriculture Investment USA" conference in Chicago this summer.
Farmland Investment Group is able to assist their clients with not only executive consultant services, but also different farmland markets, teach clients how to invest (direct vs. private equity), and how to manage these investments on a pro-active basis from owner-tenant relationships to using satellite intelligence to boost agricultural yield.

Update on Equity Fund Partnerships LLP
Many investment professionals including believe agriculture commodities are only in the early to middle innings of a major “super cycle” of increasing prices.
The argument for this is fairly simple. The number of people in the world is increasing and projected to reach nearly 9.1 billion by 2050 according to the United Nations. Meanwhile the amount of arable farmland has been decreasing.
In addition as with many major trends in the world today a large reason behind the rapid run up in food prices is China’s development. As investors we always want to be on the correct side of global inclusive trends and whatever China needs or is buying lots of we want to own as investments.
Farmland Investment Group can get you on the way to making top dollar returns on your investments. The question is what are the best ways for making money from the agricultural sector? One way is to invest directly into agricultural farmland and create equitable partnerships.

Farmland Investment Group has the experience and the tools to show you how it works and watch your returns raise higher and higher!
One option most individual investors tend to overlook is direct investment in farmland. Also investors look beyond specific farmland such as horse farms. These properties are endless in value and the debt to asset ratio is hardly ever in the negative. In many ways a farmland property investment is more secure stable and tangible then putting money into stocks.
Farmland allows investors to still benefit from the global trends in agriculture we have discussed while providing much greater stability then agriculture stocks or commodities which can fluctuate wildly.
Just to take one example in the last 20 years farmland in the United States has never had a down year according to the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) in the US demonstrates.
Not surprisingly many large institutional investors have been investing heavily in farmland the last several years. For example TIAA CREF one of the largest pension funds in the world has recently made a large move into farmland investing.
While there are considerable advantages in terms of political stability to farmland investment in Europe or the US the real opportunities for spectacular gains lie in emerging markets especially in Africa which holds 60% of the world s remaining arable land suitable for farming.
While farmland investment has been dominated by larger institutions historically in just the last two years a number of options have been developed for individuals. The most common is to pool a number of individual investors’ capital together to purchase a large parcel of agricultural land. Such as an Equity Fund Partnership LLP is another way for Farmland Investment Group to assist an individual. They will assist the original investor with finding the best farmland property matching their needs, and connecting them with other investors. Farmland Investment Group is big on social networking and utilizing state-of-the-art technology to merge all fundamentals together.
Individual Farmland Investments and Equity Fund Partnerships LLP receive an annual lease payment and historically receive annual farmland appreciations in land values.
There are of course risks with any investment but by contacting Farmland Investment Group, we will conduct due diligence and aid you in investing into the right structure and with the right people, farmland investing will be both safe and profitable for individual investors as well as large institutions.

Hottest Investment Trend
Farmland Investing
The Hottest Current Investment Trend
Most farmers and investors know that the first quarter is always slow because of the weather and a drop in sales. However, even with this being said, auctions owners are reporting elevated increases at auctions throughout the nation. Investors throughout the US are finally noticing that we all need to eat. People no matter what economic status need to purchase food. Not only that but the “Go Green” and “Organic” purchases are getting more and more popular with all nationalities.
At Farmland Investing Group we take your dream of owning a beautiful, profitable farmland and making it reality with our executive consulting services. Even an investor who normally goes for stocks can invest in farmland without having any prior experience. Farmers used to be the ones at the auctions lining up for a cheap land, but today more and more investors are there bidding. Of course we still need farmers because most investors are not out there in the fields planting the crops, but they do hold the hard money capital needed to keep it flowing.
People are tired of losing their money to bad investments and stock that sky rockets, only to fall and cause you to lose everything. A recent article I read about farmland investing stated that today in America farmland is hotter than ever and is more valuable than GOLD! For example, as a farmland owner I can tell you that a return of 11% within 2 years is not unheard of. Can you say that about your most recent real estate investments? How about your stocks you’ve been watching for the last 5 years? I didn’t think so. Farmland Investment Group can help you with all that comparison and show you how this works!
Farmland Investing
The only way to secure your money in an ever slowing economy
Even the famous investor Jim Rogers has been known to lately to buy into farmland and believes it will only continue to rise in profits. Mike Burry is another famous investor who forecasted the housing plunge and was right; he also is involved with the farmland investing community.
Crop prices are up!
Oil prices are ridiculous at this point and everyone can agree to that. America has a solution and it is called CORN. Ethanol has a huge impact on the price of corn. A higher oil price makes ethanol a more attractive substitute.
Corn is America's number one crop!
America sends over more than half of its production overseas to feed cattle and other animals. Keep in mind the wealthier other countries get, the more they will want to eat meat. In order to eat meat they have to have animals, especially cattle right? We produce the feed for the animals so they can eat, the more they eat, the more we make a profit. This is becoming a trend in the Asian communities in the last few years since their economy is steadily looking better.
National and World fears of the economy will continue, however the demand for food is not going away. The Real Estate market has not shown a huge improvement over the year, but look at corn. A year ago corn was $4.00 a bushel and only months later it has risen to over $7.50 a bushel! That is nearly a 50% increases in less than 12 months!
State-of-the-Art
Farming Technology
Farmland Investment Group encourages the use of modern farm technology. The days of figuring out where to plant and what sections grow better than others is over. Of course farmers will have to know certain aspects of their land, but when you just buy a property you want to make money ASAP! So now technology provides us with better seed that requires less water. GPS systems are equipped on most tractors today. Using a state-of-the-art GPS is ideal because it allows the farmers to map out the most productive areas of their land and aids them in knowing where to stay away. Farmers today are able to better distribute seed and fertilizer.
As with all investments, the investor has concerns. This is normal and Farmland Investment Group does a great job with making clients feel at ease. The 20 year positive track record on returns is an example but people will still be weary. Just like the housing market was promising and making investors millions for a while. Then all the sudden it hit so hard the banks were feeling the disappointment…
Consultants at Farmland Investment Group will walk you through every step of the way; from the first one-on-one consultation, all the way to locating farmland that is right for your portfolio. Using high tech methods not widely known to the average investment company, your consultant will find what you’re looking for. They have the contacts and property information that most companies can not locate yet provide.
Here is a scenario to aid you in making the decision to call
Farmland Investment Group
Farmland Investment Group will be honest and tell you it’s not easy getting into farmland investing. It's actually very hard to invest in farmland with no mutual funds to help either. Some pension funds are beginning to catch on and are allowing you to invest in farmland. You will need an investment group to help you through the entire process. Before getting too involved with the investment in farmland past reading this article, contact Farmland Investment Group. You will not only be helping your own pockets but you will create more jobs and be an active member of rebuilding our nation’s economy.
