Agriculture Services

Farmland and timberland are not short term investments, so they make sense for someone trying to build long term wealth. The younger one begins investing in something like agriculture, the more wealthy they will be at retirement. Like other forms of real estate, farmland appreciates in value while the crops produce a yield each year. Other products, such as tree crops, simply take a long time to grow. Nut trees such as almonds, for example, don't produce their first crop until they are 5 years old and then continue to increase their rate of production for up to 50 years.

Leading The Way Forward

Agricultural investments can be divided into two main categories: direct investments and indirect investments. Direct investments involve buying land or livestock directly from farmers or other agricultural producers. Indirect investments involve investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other financial instruments that are related to agriculture.

• Direct investments in agriculture offer investors the potential for higher returns than traditional stocks and bonds due to the fact that they are less volatile than other markets. Additionally, direct investments provide investors with a more tangible asset that they can physically see and touch.
• Indirect investments in agriculture offer investors access to a wide range of agricultural products without having to purchase them directly from farmers or producers. These types of investments also provide investors with diversification benefits since they are not tied to one particular sector or region.
