Risk Analysis
As of 07/02/2022
Compared to
Farmland
S&P 500
High returns with low volatility makes US farmland an excellent store of value over time. Three of the most significant risks to consider when investing in farmland are weather risk, crop risk, and liquidity risk.
One severe drought can significantly reduce the farmer's ability to pay rent or the quality of the soil. In addition to the weather, another risk is insects or disease wiping out crops. Investors should also be aware that investing in farmland directly (rather than within the stock market) makes selling your holdings more difficult, so a long-term mindset is required.

Farmland is very illiquid. If you need to exit your investment, finding a buyer can take a while.
Investing in farmland typically requires a large initial investment. Even if you're only investing in a percentage of a farm, most farmland investing platforms have minimum investment requirements of $10,000.
Weather patterns, wildfires, and natural disasters present a significant and unpredictable risk, and that risk is heightened if your investment is concentrated in one area or crop.

How You’re Taxed
Capital Gains
Profits earned from farmland are taxed like stocks. Investors are subject to short-term capital gains when selling assets owned for one year or less, which are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains are applicable when assets are owned for more than one year with tax rates ranging from 0% to 20%, depending on your total taxable income. Any rental income your farmland generates is generally taxed as ordinary income, although if you're materially involved in the farm, you may also be subject to a self-employment tax.
