FAQs

No.

No — participating with Farmland Capital won’t affect your deed. We file a memorandum which states that the investment is structured as an option and secured by either a mortgage or deed of trust.

No, FBN Finance is providing farmers the capital they need to support their operation. The goal of this investment is for the farmer to buy out of the agreement after 3-10 years after they have built more equity in their operation. FBN is not buying whole parcels of land or competing with farmers to buy land.

Yes.

While you’ll be interacting with FBN Finance over the term of the agreement, the funding will typically originate from a range of investors including wealthy individuals, family offices, endowments, foundations, pension funds, and other farmers. Learn more.

Our typical investors view Farmland Capital as an opportunity to make a longer-term investment (up to 10 years) in US farmland. Farmland investments help investors hedge against inflation, diversify their investment portfolios, and support American family farmers. Farmland Capital investors don’t collect rent payments, and they cannot control when their investment is returned. They experience gains and losses alongside the farmer (with the potential to lose all of their investment if the farm’s value drops significantly). To compensate for these risks, investors are targeting an annualized return of 10% over the life of the agreement.
