A New Way to Invest in Agriculture

Introducing the first simple, low-cost agriculture investment platform

New Opportunities

Historically, agricultural investments like cattle have only been accessible to investors with significant capital, vast industry expertise, and direct connections to producers. FarmAfield has removed those barriers by:
Cultivating partnerships with high-performing farmers we trust
Leveraging technology to bundle smaller purchases into larger investments
Compiling, analyzing, and sharing industry data that drive higher returns

Different Assets, Different Results

When you invest through FarmAfield, you're buying real agricultural assets — commodities that are non-correlated with the stock market info. Why is this important? A diversified portfolio is the cornerstone of any risk management strategy. If an entire portfolio consists of similar assets, a singular market downturn can erase gains made over many years. Non-correlated assets like cattle provide an excellent safety net info during these stock market downturns, helping you to maximize your overall returns.

Correlation is expressed using a beta value. A beta value of 1.0 between two asset classes indicates that they move in lockstep. A beta of -1.0 indicates they move in opposite directions, and a beta of 0 indicates there is no correlation in their price movement.

Over the past 20 years, the beta value of a hypothetical cattle investment (similar to the ones possible through FarmAfield) in comparison to the S&P 500 is .07 which is quite low compared to other alternative asset classes.

Pulling from major market downturns in past 20 years, we compared the performance of a cattle investment with the S & P 500.

Competitive Returns

Since our first offering in March of 2016, FarmAfield's investments in partner farms have yielded an average return of 6.8%.

Learn more about the assumptions in this section.

1.8% represents the three-year trailing APY on the Vangaurd Total Bond Market Index Fund (VBMFX).

2.65% represents the current APY for a 3-year high yield CD from Marcus by Goldman Sachs.

6.8% represents the non-annualized average returns on investments in 27 FarmAfield partner feedlots since March of 2016. The average annualized return is 13.2%.

How It Works

Fund Your Account

Get set up to purchase agricultural assets by transferring funds into your FarmAfield account.

Purchase Your Assets

Once there are funds in your account, we'll start sending you purchase opportunities for new assets like cattle or solar projects as they become available.

Watch Them Grow

Monitor your virtual farm on FarmAfield’s online dashboard and receive reports on your assets' value and performance.

Receive Your Returns

When your assets reach maturity and are sold, the proceeds are deposited in your FarmAfield account where they can be withdrawn, held, or reinvested in new opportunities.
