Description

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)
