Episode 193 - From College Classroom to 50,000 Acres: Investing in Farmland with LandFund Partners

  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Faith Driven Investor podcast, hosts Richard Cunningham and Luke Roush welcome Chris Morris and John Farris, founders of LandFund Partners, to discuss their journey from a college classroom to managing 50,000 acres of farmland in the Mid-South.

    Episode Highlights:

    • The divine intervention that brought John and Chris together at Center College in Kentucky
    • How a single idea to buy 100 acres evolved into a strategy for acquiring thousands of acres
    • Why the Mississippi alluvial aquifer makes the Mid-South an attractive region for farmland investment
    • The price convergence thesis between Mid-South and Midwest farmland (currently 8,000 vs 15,000 per acre)
    • How LandFund Partners differentiates itself through regenerative farming practices on 100% of their properties
    • The implementation of cover crops and no-till farming to restore soil health
    • The three-year timeframe to see results from regenerative practices in the Mid-South
    • How building regional "pods" of farmland creates greater value than the sum of individual parcels
    • The importance of being good stewards of both the land and community relationships
    • Farmland as an inflation hedge and "gold with a coupon" that generates consistent cash flow
    • The long-term appreciation potential of farmland (5.2% annually since WWII, 6.2% in their region)
