Why Family Offices Are Buying Farmland in 2026

Lucas and Luna explore why ultra-high-net-worth families are allocating 5 to 15 percent of their portfolios to farmland. They break down the numbers behind a 12 percent annual return from row crops since 1990, the role of carbon credits, and how the USDA keeps land values stable even when grain prices fall. Luna asks whether the liquidity lock-up is worth it, and Lucas walks through a concrete example: a 500-acre Nebraska corn operation generating a 7 percent net cash yield plus 4 percent appreciation. They also touch on the difference between owning bare land and using a farm management company. No abstract theory — just the real mechanics of soil as an asset class. #Farmland #FamilyOffices #AssetClass #WealthManagement #Agriculture #CarbonCredits #USDA #Nebraska #RowCrop #Corn #PrivateCapital #PortfolioDiversification #InflationHedge #LandValue #GenerationalWealth #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
