Zephyr’s Adjusted for Risk: Unlocking the Secrets to Profitable Farmland Investment Strategies

Ryan Nauman hosts Zephyr’s Adjusted for Risk Podcast from Lake Tahoe and interviews David Chan, Head of Investor Relations at Homestead Capital, an institutional manager focused on U.S. farmland and agricultural investments. Chan explains Homestead’s origins, its farmland equity approach and newer credit strategy lending to farmers, and key themes shaping farmland: income durability, inflation linkage, land scarcity, active management potential, and a flight to quality driven by water security—highlighting California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and resulting value bifurcation. They break down farmland returns into income (lease or operating) and appreciation, distinguish permanent crops (e.g., almonds, pistachios, citrus, wine grapes) from row crops (e.g., corn, wheat, soy), and discuss ways to invest via direct ownership/funds, public vehicles, and credit. Chan addresses misconceptions, benchmarks (NCREIF Farmland Index), liquidity and complexity, current bear markets in permanent crops tied to pandemic-era oversupply, and geopolitical impacts such as fertilizer pricing and potential E15 ethanol policy boosting corn demand.
