Farmland has crushed every other asset class for the last 30 years.
👋
Let me tell you something f*cking wild...
Farmland has crushed every other asset class for the last 30 years.
Not just beaten - CRUSHED. We're talking better returns than real estate, stocks, bonds, and even gold.
And Wall Street?
They're quietly loading up like it's Black Friday for acres.
Check these numbers (they're insane):
11% average annual returns since '92 (try getting that in bonds)
$4,080/acre in 2023 (all-time high)
12.4% price jump in one year
$52B in farmland funds (from basically zero in '05)
But here's where it gets interesting...
The Big Money's Already Moving 🫰
Mormon Church (they know something we don't?)
Bill Gates (not just Windows anymore)
Private Equity (following the smart money)
Wall Street Bros (all paying cash)
Why?
Simple: Farmland is like bitcoin for boomers - it doesn't give a sh*t what the stock market does, AND it's a middle finger to inflation.
But here's the thing...
You don't need Gates money to play this game.
Here's how regular folks are getting in…
1️⃣ Farm REITs (Poor Man's Land Baron Play)
Farmland Partners (FPI)
Gladstone Land Corp (LAND)
Trade like stocks, no fancy investor status needed
2️⃣ Crowdfunding (Modern Day Land Grab)
FarmTogether.com ($15k min, accredited)
Other platforms from $50k
Like Kickstarter but for actual land
3️⃣ ETFs (The Lazy Way In)
VANECK AGRI BUSINESS (MOO)
You're basically betting on shovels instead of gold
4️⃣ Direct Purchase (Big Boy/Girl Move)
$4,080/acre average (cheaper than a Gucci bag)
Farmers HATE selling to corporations
LandWatch.com is your friend
🔥 INSIDER TIP:
You can do this all through your IRA/401k.
Uncle Sam basically pays for part of your farm.
Not financial advice, but... you know what I mean.
Here's the real kicker...
$24 TRILLION (yes, with a T) in farmland's about to change hands. Why? Because farmers are old, their kids want to be TikTok stars, and somebody's gotta own this land.
Question is: Will it be BlackRock or you?
The AcreByAcre Play 🌽💰
While everyone's buying crypto and praying for the next meme stock, smart money's quietly buying the one thing they ain't making more of: LAND.
Want to really bend your brain? Farm rent in Cali is $486/acre. Wyoming? $86.50.
Location matters, but that's where the opportunity is.

P.S. Next week I'm showing exactly how to find off-market farmland deals.
The stuff nobody's talking about.
P.P.S. Remember:
They're not making any more land, but they sure as hell are printing more money.
Think about it. 😉
