US Agriculture

US Agriculture invests directly in farmland, acquiring row-crop and permanent-crop properties nationwide. The firm concentrates on staple commodity-producing land, including corn, soybeans, wheat, and almond acreage. It generates returns through a combination of long-term land value appreciation and operational lease income from local farming operators.

The firm acquires farmland directly and structures its holdings as long-term buy-and-lease investments. Properties are typically leased back to local farm operators through cash-rent or flexible crop-share arrangements. This separates land ownership from farming operations, allowing the firm to focus on the appreciating asset while aligning operator incentives through variable lease terms.

US Agriculture's portfolio spans the primary US agricultural belts. Core regions include the Midwest Corn Belt states such as Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Nebraska, as well as permanent-crop regions in California's Central Valley and the Pacific Northwest. This geographic diversification hedges against localized weather events and water scarcity risk.

The firm's model relies on direct acquisitions of farmland properties rather than fund-of-funds commitments in the agricultural sector. Public records indicate it does not operate as a general partner raising blind-pool funds for external co-investors alongside its own balance sheet. It functions primarily as a direct owner-operator of the land assets.

For its West Coast permanent-crop holdings, US Agriculture's underwriting must account for senior water rights and long-term water district allocations. The firm's due diligence integrates hydrological assessments and evaluates Sustainable Groundwater Management Act compliance in California. This water-rights analysis is a core capability for any institutional farmland investor operating in the arid West.
