The Third Option For Landowners
We work with landowners who want to support their farmers and protect their family legacy. If you thought your only options were either selling the farm, or renting it out, let’s chat. Our hybrid model might be just what you have been looking for.
We have 2.3 million tillable acres of farmland in the United States. Every 15 seconds we lose an acre forever.
Farm Succession Planning and Land Ownership.
Farmers
We help farmers buy out their landlords. When the land comes up for sale—whether from the owner or their heirs—we step in. We talk to the seller, structure the deal through an LLC, and help you take ownership. The goal? Keep the farm local, and let the landlord or heirs stay partially invested if they choose.
Landowners
Got a farm with a low basis? Need cash but don’t want the full tax hit from selling it all? We help you unlock value without giving up everything. With Farmland Stock Exchange, you can sell a portion, keep the rest, and protect what your family built. Reach out and let’s talk options.
About Us
At Farmland Stock Exchange, our mission is simple: We are committed to supporting farmers and safeguarding the stability of American agriculture. We know that with a looming transition of 70% of farmland, succession planning and ensuring that transfer is beneficial for the next generation is key.
We focus on helping family farms transition their home farm, and then secure the acres they are renting from others. Foreign and institutional money are flowing into the asset, and running up prices.
Meanwhile, farmers are struggling to expand their operations and secure funding without resorting to selling their land, a common obstacle that can lead to missed growth opportunities.
We believe in sitting down at the farm shop or at the dinner table and figuring out what is best for the entire family. No one’s situation is the same, and our business is built to be flexible with you. Reach out today and we can help you get all the information you need to secure your farm for the next generation.
Secure Your Farm’s Future
Whether you are a farmer facing a land purchase, a landowner considering your legacy, or a banker seeking a way to help your farmers get a loan that keeps their business secure, Farmland Stock Exchange offers tailored solutions.
Farmland is a unique asset class, and each farm is as unique as each family that farms it. The asset of the ground typically continues to rise for several key reasons:
Increasing Productivity: Advancements in agricultural technology are driving productivity, allowing farmers to produce more crops on less land. This makes farmland increasingly valuable year over year.
Rising Global Demand for Food: With the global population steadily growing, the demand for food—and therefore farmland—is only going to increase. Farmland offers investors a way to tap into this essential and expanding market.
Scarcity of Land: Urban development, climate change, and other factors are steadily reducing the amount of farmland available. As supply decreases and demand rises, the value of farmland continues to appreciate. Currently we lose an acre of farmland every 15 seconds.

Investing in Farmland FAQs
-
Farmers work tirelessly to grow their businesses, but securing capital to expand or improve their operations is often a major hurdle. Traditionally, farmers have had to sell their land or take on significant debt to access capital.
Today, Farmers rent a lot of the land they are farming, and they need every acre to make a living in a low margin business. When a landlord needs to sell they have two options. Buy the farm for 40% down, on a multi-million dollar piece of land. Or they can bring in a fund to purchase the whole farm, and continue renting. At Farmland Stock Exchange, we offer a different approach.
Farmers bring us the farm they want to purchase
They pay 10% down
Our lending partners underwrite a mortgage for 41%
We bring investor capital for 49%
This allows farmers to maintain ownership of their land while allowing investors to partner in the growth.
