For farmers, managing risk comes down to knowing your cost of production, per acre, per bushel, and laying out the impact of any added acres or investments. Farmers who know their numbers and can share these plans with their lenders will be best positioned to grow in this down-cycle.

Buying out a landlord never comes at the right time. And when land comes for sale, on average, it won’t be sold for another 60 years. Learn from Kyle Mehmen, a fifth generation Iowa grain farmer, and Daryl Pohlman, a financial coach at UnCommon Farms, about how farmers can be financially prepared to buy-out their landlord.

How can farmers protect their cash positions while still competing for land in this down-cycle? It starts with farmers mapping out future land opportunities and understanding how much capital they need to run their business. Paying all cash for land to avoid high interest rates may prevent many farmers from financing the next land deal. Learn how to access more capital with Fractal.ag so that you can continue building your operation Evan Shout (Maverick Ag), Tim Hammerich (Future of Agriculture), Grant Wiese (Farm640), Chris Barron (AgView Solutions) #AgLinkedin #FarmWeird

The FSB Companies and Frank Brumfield are proud to join forces with Fractal Agriculture as both an equity investor and fund participant. We expect Fractal to provide immense synergies as a strategic piece of the FSB Ag Portfolio. Fractal partners with institutional investors who aim to gain exposure to row crop farming through farmland equity co-investments and seek quality farm operators who strive to be leaders agronomically, financially, and operationally. The investing model that Ben Gordon and his team have developed at Fractal empowers the enterprising farmer, aligning with our core spirit of entrepreneurialism at The FSB Companies. We are excited for the future of this new relationship! #SustainableFarming #Investing #RegenerativeAgriculture #AgTech

I've been limiting travel this year with the birth of my daughter, but it's been a bummer to miss the excitement and collaboration of #ClimateWeek2024. I'm keeping up with the activity from home, and it's been great to see the latest progress and newest partnerships for combating climate change across the food & agriculture sector. Given the current ag economy, we've been busy at Sound Agriculture over the last few months exploring new ways to marry technology and incentives to help support the transition to more efficient use of fertilizer while reducing nitrous oxide emissions including the launch of our Efficient Acre program and our recent partnership with Fractal Agriculture. For those in NYC this week, I'd love to hear more about your highlights when you get back! Check out the latest piece from our CEO Adam Litle if you're interested in hearing more on Sound's role in incentivizing more sustainable crop nutrition! https://shorturl.at/OH71d #sustainableag #efficiency #climatesmart
As we kick off #ClimateWeek2024, hear from Sound's VP of Sustainability, Kaitlin Fitzgerald, as she discusses the competing tensions between yield, climate health and profitability. More than ever before, there's a sense of urgency and a desire for scale that's creating unique opportunities in agriculture, resulting in win-win outcomes for the environment and for the growers bottom line. #SustainableAgriculture #ClimateHealth #SyntheticFertilizer
