When Muddy Boots Meet Pinstriped Suits. Thoughts on Ag Investment Opportunities in Australia
Ownership of farmland by entities other than multigenerational family owner-operators is far from a new concept in Australia.
What is relatively new in Australia is the gradual acceptance by the institutional investment community that agricultural farmland is a bonafide asset class. Good things can happen when practical farm smarts meets astute and willing capital. That said, Ag is not for the faint hearted and neither is managing someone else's money. This presentation will outline the crucial success factors and typical challenges of large scale Ag Investment and the potential opportunities to service these investments.
