Reaping returns

Farmland returns have performed well

Farmland returns as of June 30, 2015, posted their lowest quarterly rate since 2010. Longer term, the asset class has performed well.

Slowing growth: After a big runup following the financial crisis, farmland returns are starting to cool.

Long-term strength: The asset class has exhibited strong risk-adjusted returns over time.

Staying power: Returns of permanent cropland, such as orchards and vineyards, have outpaced those of annual cropland.

On top: The Pacific West led all regions over the past 12 months due to strong crop sales at the end of 2014.
