AS FARMERS, WHY WOULD WE WANT TO SELL PART OF OUR FARM? We have farmed this land for decades and want it to remain part of our total farming operation. Hence, we want sell it to someone who will rent it back to us. We could sell to neighbors, but of course they would insist on farming it themselves, which doesn't fit our plan. We are interested in selling this land to purchase other land that will diversify our total operation. By buying back land, we won't lose our land appreciation opportunity. This type of rental arrangement has always been very popular, inasmuch as farmers across the United States traditionally own only one half of the land that they farm. On the half of their operation that they rent, the farmer pays an annual rental payment which gives the investor an annual income. Of course by being the owner of the land the investor has also received the appreciation on their land investment _________________________________________________ ANNUAL INCOME FROM CASH LEASE $15,200 ANNUAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT 4.5 percent ANNUAL PROPERTY TAX $1095 BUILDING SITE OPPORTUNITY _________________________________________________ WHY SHOULD YOU BUY OUR LAND? Without the cost of management fees we will rent the land from you, paying a fixed annual return. But how can you be sure that we will take proper care of your land? First, the better we care for the land, the better it will do for us. Also, we are Tier III CSP farmers. Page 42 of the Conservation Security Program handbook defines the CSP program as a voluntary program that has a unique role among USDA conservation programs. CSP identifies and rewards the nation s premiere farm and ranch land conservationists who meet the highest standard of conservation environmental management. The CSP program is in recognition of our dedication to the conservation of the soil. The CSP farmer is one who takes the long view approach rather than plundering the land for short term gain. This is the kind of farm investment you want! FARMLAND IS THE INVESTMENT THAT FEELS REAL You can walk on it, you can see it, and it will never go away.
