1 Farmland Investment Returns Farmland Value and Leasing Conference: How will Markets and the Drought affect Land Prices and Rents? November 7, 2012 Decatur Conference Center Bruce J. Sherrick University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
2 Farmland Returns... setup Recent high relative returns, price increases Concerns about potential bubble, drought, prices, farm policy (or absence), effect of the day concerns Elevated interest by institutional investors, funds Elevated interest by traditional investors, individuals Elevated interest by current owners in understanding performance relative to alternatives Operator returns versus owner, how to separate Farmland as an investment Conceptually simple to assess, difficult to implement Equity Puzzle important to solve Returns Indexing issues complicated with annual returns and heterogeneity in type/location.
3 Historic Views on Farmland.. We have two great sources of profit in farming: first, rise in the value of the land; and second, profit on the production of farm crops. The first has been the chief source. Already it is difficult or impossible, over much of the country for young (farmers) to become landowners. The area of desirable farmland attainable is comparatively small. The number and percentage of tenant farmers must certainly increase. - George Morrow, 1886

8 Returns measurement issues Measuring returns on assets with different income cycles have to standardize time. Indexing vs. holding in whole shares and the denominator problem (esp. as fund size changes) Measures of variability depend on time smoothing and holding periods used. Holding period critical to determine very different convergence rates. Transactions costs may differ by class.

24 Final Thoughts.. Low sector debt, land-concentrated equity, difficult to use sales data to determine values more broadly Risk management crop insurance far more critical than other government programs High transactions costs, thin markets, funds emerging that may help. Capitalization rate issues: what is the exit strategy of the Fed that does not involve inflation or low productivity gains? Low grain stocks current price regimes not necessarily equilibrium Rents have not caught up with values, chicken and egg problem in most fundamental form.
