Farmland Partners Inc Dossier
Qualitative Analysis
Business overview
Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSE: FPI) is an internally managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that specializes in acquiring and owning high-quality North American agricultural land. Rather than operating farms directly, the company acts as a landlord, leasing its acreage to professional tenant farmers under triple-net lease structures. This business model provides investors with direct exposure to farmland values and rental income while insulating the company from direct crop production risks. As of March 31, 2026, Farmland Partners owned approximately 70,400 acres of farmland across 11 states, including Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia. The portfolio supports a diverse mix of primary crops (such as corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, and cotton) and specialty crops (such as almonds, pistachios, citrus, and edible beans). Additionally, the company generates interest income by providing loans to third-party farmers and landowners secured by agricultural real estate.
