Farmland Investing

Does anyone here know much about the farmland investing space? Seems like investor interest has kept on growing since the 80s both on the institutional side and for private investors.

What kind of background would you need to become a PM at a large farmland fund? I know it is a very niche space but any idea on potential comp and hours? I can imagine there is a lot of travel.

 
 

Seems like something to do if you have a few $B as an investor. It's also something to do as an investor (job) if you can fool someone into paying you a management fee for buying farmland, lmao.

 

Interesting group. Was looking at the comp for the team that left Harvard to start Folium before the Solum guys were hired, those numbers are pretty nuts.

Seems like the roots of the industry are in the big life insurers like Hancock, Prudential... A common background is on the debt side for farm lending. Whereas the more recent fund with more of a PE focus tend to have more agribiz backgrounds (Cargill, Cosan...)
