Unlock Value thought Improvements: McLeish Farm

McLeish Farm was a sale-leaseback opportunity with 130 tillable acres and 24 pasture acres at purchase. The farm came with an old house and a tree stand. During the prior 10 years, the farm was on a corn and soybeans rotation. Farmland Opportunity increased tillable acres by reclaiming pasture land, removing trees, and the house. Farmland productivity was improved by installing drainage on reclaimed land. In addition, Farmland Opportunity built a relationship with the owners of a hog facility to access manure to increase soil fertility and reduced input costs. Improvements required additional capital of 4.6% from the purchase price, which was partially offset by tax depreciation benefits.

Case Study

FarmTogether is an incredible platform that covers all aspects of farmland investing for retail investors. It's clean and made to be flexible enough to cover any requirement.

Farmland Opportunity sources high quality, consistently productive, row crop farmland located in the United States.

We look for off-market deals with the potential for us to add value through enhancing productivity and reclaiming tillable acreage.
