CAPITAL MARKETS

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Fall Seminar in Morris, Illinois this week. With 138 attendees, the day was filled with valuable insights, meaningful conversations, and practical guidance for today's agricultural landscape.

Attendees also experienced the powerful performance of Map of My Kingdom by Stacy Brothers, followed by a Peoples Company panel discussion on farmland transitions, legacy planning, and other important landowner topics.

It was a pleasure to host APROSOJA, a group of Brazilian farmers and leaders from Mato Grosso's soybean industry, at our headquarters in Cu***ng, Iowa. The visit created an opportunity to discuss the U.S. land market, agricultural trends, and strengthen relationships that support the future of global agriculture.

A high-quality farm can be a great investment and still be the wrong investment for a particular portfolio.

The difference comes down to objectives. An investor prioritizing steady cash flow may evaluate opportunities differently than someone focused on long-term appreciation or higher income potential. Geography, crop type, tenant quality, water availability, pricing, and expected returns all need to be considered in the context of the broader strategy.

The goal isn't simply to acquire good farmland. It's to build a collection of assets that work together toward a defined financial objective.

Building a farmland portfolio requires more than finding attractive properties. Each acquisition needs to support the investor's broader financial objectives.

That means evaluating everything from soil quality and historical yields to water availability, leases, pricing, and expected returns before determining whether a property belongs in the portfolio.

Watch the full episode on the Peoples Company YouTube channel to learn how a strategic approach can guide farmland acquisitions from initial goals through long-term management.

Every farm carries unique production histories and risk factors, meaning standard off-the-shelf policies rarely deliver maximum value. Tailoring crop insurance to your specific ground allows you to cut through the noise of thousands of options and zero in on the precise coverage levels your balance sheet actually needs.

By pairing proper coverage with active grain marketing and available government programs, you effectively protect your annual cash flow and safeguard the underlying value of the asset. We bring a hands-on, consultative approach to every acre, ensuring your revenue strategy stays aligned with your overarching goals for the land.
