Farmland LP

"Climate is the third dimension for agriculture."

The framing comes from the newest BMO Sustainability Leaders Podcast. Map farmland in two dimensions, and you implicitly assume growing conditions hold forever. Add the climate dimension, and the picture sharpens. Risk and opportunity become more legible. So does where to put capital.

Craig Wichner of Farmland LP and Alyssa Go of RRG join host Angela Adduci of the BMO Climate Institute to walk through what changes when climate scenarios drive the underwriting. The conversation covers water rights as one of the most misunderstood asset classes in farmland, why the American West remains a structurally durable growing region, and how regenerative practices show up on the income statement.

When billionaires like Stan Kroenke, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos are all aggressively moving capital into the same asset class, it's worth paying attention.

Kroenke just became America's largest private landowner, with 2.7 million acres, after recently purchasing 1 million acres in New Mexico.

Farmland values have grown at an average annual rate of 5.8% from 2019 to 2024, according to the USDA. But here's what the headlines miss: the U.S. loses 2 million acres of farmland every year to development and soil erosion.

No one is tearing down a shopping center to create more of it. The ultra-wealthy have figured out what we've known for years: farmland is one of the most reliable stores of value in an uncertain market, and the supply is only shrinking.

Kroenke represents a growing wave of ultra-wealthy entrepreneurs investing in long-held ranches and farmland.

Good land stewardship means working with water, not against it. Sometimes the best farming decisions are the ones you make between seasons.

On this episode of Fridays on the Farm, Daniel Pasculli, Vineyard Manager at Green Spring Farms, walks us through the erosion control work his team put in this fall at one of our Willamette Valley vineyards.

🍇 A vineyard section that was struggling with water erosion
💧 A purpose-cut channel directing water flow to a drain
🌱 Cover crop planted to hold soil structure and prevent future erosion

✅ The result: a healthier vineyard area doing exactly what we want it to do

When investors evaluate a farmland manager, they typically look at acreage, crop mix, and location. Increasingly, they're also asking about technology. How does this operation actually run day to day? 🌾

For regenerative farms, that question matters more than most realize. Managing crop rotations, pollinator habitats, soil health, and carbon tracking across thousands of acres isn't something you can do with spreadsheets. AI and on-farm technology make it possible to run that level of complexity without costs scaling out of control.

On February 17, Craig Wichner and Beewise Co-Founder Eliyah Radzyner discuss how it works in practice.

Most farmland strategies focus on one thing: how much can each acre produce. But healthy farmland does more than grow crops. It builds soil, supports pollinators, and stores carbon. The challenge has always been whether you can manage all of that and still run a profitable operation at scale. 🌾

On February 17, Craig Wichner joins Beewise Co-Founder Eliyah Radzyner to talk about how Farmland LP does exactly that across 19,000+ acres of organic farmland, covering everything from biodiversity programs and bee habitat to AI-powered farm operations and a new regenerative carbon credit.

Soil carbon sequestration through regenerative agriculture may deliver faster and more durable climate benefits than tree planting alone, particularly in the near term.

Tree planting remains important, but it often comes with long lag times, permanence risk, and uncertainty around long-term stewardship. Regenerative agriculture operates differently. By improving soil health through cover crops, reduced tillage, diversified rotations, and managed grazing, farmland can begin removing carbon from the atmosphere within the first growing seasons, not decades later.

We believe the conversation is shifting from climate pledges to operational, verifiable practices. Earlier this year, Farmland LP and Carbon Friendly submitted the first regenerative farming soil carbon credits in the U.S. to the Verra Registry for issuance, using empirical soil sampling under an approved methodology. The submission reflects years of on-farm data collection, third-party verification, and legally binding permanence commitments.

This milestone signals something broader:
• Soil carbon is moving from theory to practice
• Measurement and verification standards are maturing
• Regenerative agriculture can deliver climate outcomes that are scalable, repeatable, and compatible with institutional capital

The future of climate solutions will not be defined by aspiration alone, but by systems that can be implemented, measured, and trusted.

Soil is often overlooked in climate conversations, but it might just be our greatest ally in the fight against rising carbon emissions. While tree planting campaigns make headlines and dominate environmental pledges, a different approach is quietly gaining momentum among scientists and farmers alike...

The USDA’s new Regenerative Pilot Program is an important moment for agriculture. Federal support for soil health and water stewardship signals the broader shift toward farming practices that ensure long-term productivity while reducing inputs.

At Farmland LP, regenerative practices are part of our daily work. Our 2024 outcomes show what this looks like at scale.

Last year, our farm portfolio:

🌱 Planted 6,586 acres of cover crops
🦉 Permanently protected 414 acres of wildlife habitat
💧 Used precision irrigation on 60% of operated acres
👩‍🌾 Supported 60 full-time farm jobs across three states
🚫 Avoided 8.8M pounds of synthetic nitrogen and 267,215 lbs of pesticides
🌎 Avoided or sequestered more than 20,672 metric tons of CO₂e, bringing our cumulative total to more than 134,068 metric tons since 2013

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has approved the first agricultural methodologies to earn its Core Carbon Principles label, including Verra’s VM0042 Improved Agricultural Land Management methodology.

Farmland LP and Carbon Friendly are already generating regenerative farming carbon credits under this same Verra protocol, one of only two methodologies worldwide to meet ICVCM’s highest integrity standards.

This recognition reinforces the rigor behind our field-level “measure, re-measure” approach, which quantifies soil carbon removals directly from regenerative farmland. It validates the credibility, permanence, and scalability of nature-based carbon solutions developed through our platform.

Farmland LP continues to set the benchmark for transparency, durability, and verified climate impact by translating ecological value into long-term financial performance for investors.
