How to Invest in Farmland in USA
Not long ago, I heard about a company called AcreTrader.
This is a real estate crowdfunding platform that invests in farmland throughout the United States and gives accredited investors the opportunity to diversify their money into assets outside of the stock market.
Even in the real estate world, farmland is a very different type of real estate asset. It doesn’t follow the same trends as the rest of the real estate market as a whole (e.g. – single-family houses, apartments, and other commercial buildings). In many ways, farmland operates in a world of its own, and values rise and fall based on the global supply and demand of farmland and food commodities (with a limited amount of farmland available and a growing number of mouths to feed worldwide).
Investing in farmland is a way to diversify, not just into real estate, but into a real estate class that isn’t controlled by the same type of volatility that affects most of the conventional real estate investments that people think of.
