Only Publicly Traded Company with a Focus on Primary Row Crops Our growth strategy provides multiple avenues to support and grow the bottom line with low cost of capital and high levels of operating leverage Highly efficient aggregator of primarily mid-sized farms, not always competing directly with other large institutions Low cost of capital relative to individual farmers and institutional buyers “First call” for broker relationships in key farming markets around the country Attractive play for individual investors seeking modest, liquid exposure to farmland Farming is a highly fragmented industry, with relatively few operators enjoying true economies of scale Over time, we expect to leverage our tenants’ buying power to create meaningful cost savings, supporting higher rent for the REIT and enhanced profitability and credit profile of our tenants OP units provide unique tax-deferred currency First-Mover Advantage Tenant Value Creation
