Benefits to different people and organisations - Ep 31

This week:

1. Another way to access investors
   
   

   We have been in contact with Smith Agri International for a number of years now. David Smith and I caught up at the Field Days and spoke to some aspiring farmers about using their services to attract an investor who could back them onto a farm. This is a great concept. Smith Agri deal with high net worth individuals who want to buy farms. David suggested that anyone who has a farm in mind that they should approach them to discuss the opportunity and whether they could get an investor to back them. A normal real estate wouldn’t be able to find an investor like this, they would normally sell it to a neighbour or someone wanting to farm for themselves. But these investors need farmers. This could be an amazing opportunity - so please reach out to them. 

2. Our first potential farm match
   
   

   We had discussions with investors, real estate and farmers looking to step back last week. What a great moment it was. We will find out in the next 4 weeks whether this will go ahead. But this could be our first matched farm which is amazing. Cultivate Farms have brought the opportunity to the right people and the investors are very supportive of backing aspiring and retiring farmers. I’ll keep you posted.

3. Would you be willing to pitch a farm in 2018?
