Content: The United States has some of the best potential farmland for investment because of our democratic government and the infrastructure it possesses; ie, railroads, rivers and highways. Other countries have very fertile soil but have no roads to deliver products to a port, and it makes for a hard harvest. Also, some foreign countries have great land to grow crops but have a corrupt government and/or the state owns all the ports of exchange. Not all international investments are bad, they just can be more volatile than the U.S.
SELECTION
When selecting a farm to purchase an investor needs to keep three simple points in their process. Do I have the capital to make the investment? Do I feel comfortable in a long-term project? Can I leave emotions aside when purchasing/selling? Knowing your buying potential, aka how much can you spend, is key when purchasing farmland. Some investors move capital into property with no debt and many move some capital and acquire debt through lenders.
