About Us

We believe that US farmland is a unique investment that presents outstanding opportunities for investors. Farmland investments offer rates of return comparable to stock market funds, while presenting a conservative risk profile that rivals the level of safety and security provided by the bond market.

We have solid, research-backed reasons for believing that farmland will continue to be an outstanding investment value in the years to come. Some of the key elements of our analysis:

• Farmland values have risen in 50 of the past 54 years
• Farm income is on a steady upward trend, and demand for farm produce in the areas of food, feed and fuel are all set to increase at accelerating rates into the foreseeable future
• As urban areas continue to grow, existing farmland is set to change to residential and commercial use – increasing the value of the remaining stock and spurring the development of new agricultural land

AGERCO believes that American farmland provides an outstanding balance of growth potential, management cost, and legal/regulatory structure. In addition, the American farm industry is well-capitalized, stable, and has favorable geographic and infrastructure advantages.

AGERCO Management also believes that farmland investments are available at prices which are consistent with long-term value appreciation, and that the objective factors in the agricultural real estate market will continue to provide an ongoing stream of investment opportunities compatible with our capital management plan.
