DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSE: FPI) (the “Company” or “FPI”) today announced that it purchased 291 acres of farmland in Schuyler County, Illinois, for $2.16 million. FPI won the property during an auction held November 29.
“We continue to hunt for prime farmland that can be purchased at a good price, and we prioritize properties that are close to other FPI farms because it creates efficiencies and drives strong rental rates,” said Paul Pittman, FPI’s Chairman and CEO. “This acquisition checks both boxes and is located near another of our row crop farms.”
The newly acquired property is leased to the same tenant who rents FPI’s nearby farm. The farmland is expected to generate good rental income for the Company in addition to asset appreciation. Agricultural land in Illinois has averaged 5.7% in annual appreciation since 1970, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
