How to Invest in Farmland

Adam revisits his conversation with Craig Wichner, Managing Director of Farmland LP to help our viewers better understand how to invest directly in farmland. Investing in sustainable agriculture is great for the planet, our food systems, and more importantly provide superior investment returns.

At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world’s top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance.
We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you.
There’s no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead?
Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
Put the wisdom from the money & markets experts we feature on Wealthion into action by scheduling a free consultation with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors, who will work with you to determine the right next steps for you to take in building your wealth.

Adam, you are the best. I don’t know how you replace someone who’s irreplaceable Too bad they just can’t write you a big check and make you stay. I will catch you on the other side.

[@christopherleone2996]

Will miss you, Adam! Best of luck in future endeavors.

[@MichaelHarrington17]

This presentation suggests that farm land value is based on scarcity rather than productivity or cash flow. This REIT seems like it is in the business of flipping farm land based on capital improvements, added value, and scarcity. But It doesn't really sound like a practical asset class for individual investors. They say you can make a small fortune in wine grapes, just as long as you start with a large one. 😉 Corporate agriculture has forgotten that they're not growing money, they're growing food. Crop diversification and rotation is the only process that makes sense.

[@chrisgingerich9786]

Amen . Agree 100 percent. In Iowa farmland is going for 12,000 @ the low end for high quality soil. In my calculations , if a person needs to get a bank loan for 80 percent @ 6 to 8 percent interest rates And current commodity prices . It would very likely never pay itself off without appreciating land values.

Gonna miss you, buddy. My days feel empty! It’s like losing an old friend. Best of luck Adam. Hope you sold Wealthion to someone for $millions!

[@goeyboy]

Wait, he sold Wealthion?

[@RobWilliams007]

@@goeyboy I have no idea if he actually sold it but he is stepping down. And he just got back from VidCon or wherever he was. He spent an awful lot of time and effort building the brand to just walk away but then again, he has met so many people and his mom just passed - I’m sure there is a story in there but he probably can’t talk about it yet.

[@LaCasaAcademy]

It's my understanding that Adam didn't own it

[@andrewj7994]

If you want to screw up go into farmland thinking farmers are all idiots and don't know how to value land. Farmers have a strong emotional attachment to land and always pay to much, returns are low hence low debt levels, Farmland simply put, cannot service large debts. Land is crazy expensive based on returns and these investment vehicles add layers of complexity and cost. Then add weather and commodity prices.

[@RobWilliams007]

I have shares in Farmland Partners and I have looked into crowd-funded farmland but haven’t pulled the trigger on that.

[@spencerchilson4013]

Yay, Adam is here!

[@tatersquad2000]

That farmland in the background is in my town. The home of Adam West, onions, and wine.

[@100perdido]

I live in the south where cotton grows particulaly well. I am slowly buying up farm land in my area and plan to break it into smaller plots to be farmed by my "partners" on a percentage basis. My "partners" won't be callled share croppers though since the term has bad connotations. I'm thinking of calling them "shared agricultural associates".

[@RoyceVera]

So where die adam his video go?

[@matthewterry3555]

A company like Fundrise needs to step in and create a crowdfunding option so the middle class can invest in farmland. $100K minimum is out of reach for most people.

[@patrickroers752]

I am trying to start one. It's been my dream for 10 yrs.

[@jerrysteffy7900]

Adam’s departure came on so abruptly you know there’s a back story there. The week before the Wealthion conference he was talking about upcoming videos he was planning for the audience. He will be sorely missed, a top notch host and interviewer.

[@sylvesteradim1532]

Can I invest into farm land in the US as a foreigner who doesn't reside in the US? If yes please how do I reach out to you personally?

[@andrewj7994]

Does he know a Combine harvester is one million dollars a sprayer is 550k a new tractor is over 1k a horsepower and tractors can hit 700 hp. One farmer on farm4profit podcast had 9 tractors, last years maintenance bill was 290k. Fertiliser costs have doubled, gas prices have doubled. Russia is still huge in grain markets, Brazil is massive, the USA no longer has the dominance it used too. I would love to see analysis of so called superior returns. I can show you the bones of people who went into farming without understanding the risks and the complex systems. Iowa farmland has been selling as high as 30k an acre, 2.195 million for 73 acres. Low interest rates have pushed farm prices to records and returns have stayed the same. If you can get %5 in a bank deposit you will be way ahead of any farmer I know.

[@chrisgingerich9786]

I wish I could explain this to people as well as you can . I would love to own some land , but will most likely not for a long while.

[@Heffay3]

Take care Adam!

[@peterzhang5108]

Take care Adam.

[@jameskeefe1761]

Regarding farmland I have been interested in seed-drills and no till, which tend to better hold the soil down, and other soil preservation techniques, perhaps a catchment or something to prevent soil from running off and regenerating ground covers, composting etc.

[@galapiat]

I suggest the new Wealthion team to invite Adam and Lance each friday for a market recap😉

[@fredrikvp7148]

As an organic farmer for 15 years, I find the number of (faulty) assumptions in this video a bit to high for my taste. In my head I just see the 30 different farmers driving 30 miles with their equipment to farm different small plots. Economies of scale is becoming pale.

[@mattanderson6672]

Gonna miss Adam, but thank you!!

[@KathyAndrew]

I am a farmer, and land has gone up so high that it will never pay off. Investors have driven the price here in Kansas to 3000 per acre and up. Meanwhile grain prices are dropping. How do you think that works out? And about organic farming, no till farming requires chemicals to kill weeds.

Let's screw up farm real estate costs too. Geez.. making real estate an investment vehicle is the root cause of house inflation. Exploiting a scarce limited resource ultimately driving up food costs.

Big investment firms are destroying home ownership in America. Once they figure it out, they will be hoarding farmland and driving up the costs of food. The damage that institutional investment has done to global stability over the last 15 years really makes me question whether speculation is systemically good for society.

[@catrionalyle2791]

I’m convinced from how uncomfortable Adam appears that I’m not going to like the future Wealthion and that he’s likely been pushed out. I’m unsubscribing as a result.

[@refuztosay9454]

A guy builds a channel from the bottom and gets booted out by “new management.” Unsubscribing and done with Wealthion…
