Although AFAM primary role is to help agricultural investors buy quality farms, most of the acquisitions we make also involve establishing long-term relationships with investors. The majority of AFAM clients are passive long-term investors seeking capital security and a stable income stream from tenanted ownership of farmland or owner production. This makes us a special type of buyer because it enables us to consider acquisitions that might not be available to buyers who are owner operators themselves.

Most farmers remain confident about the future, and in the case of cash rich farmers, continue to acquire land in order to expand production. But there are those who don’t have sufficient capital and/or equity to finance their current operations or expand production. Our clients can step in with capital to assist farmers in this position through purchase and leaseback arrangements. For those who want to stay in the farming business, this can be an attractive alternative to a sale with vacant possession.

As a farmer, you might be interested in a sale and leaseback arrangement for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you took on leverage above historical levels and you’re now caught between a rock and a hard place as lenders tighten their terms. Or maybe your an ambitious farmer trying to expand your farming operations, but you’re finding it challenging (and expensive) to obtain financing under current market conditions.

If you own a solid farmland asset and you feel you are not getting the support you need from your bank or you are simply a successful farmer wishing to expand your operations
