Bull Case:

Sale-Leaseback with Experienced Local Operator: Working with an operator with over 20 years of experience on the same ground, ensuring operational control and a commitment to sustaining the asset's value.

Attractive Entry Price: The farm is believed to be purchased at a competitive price based on recent comparable sales, providing an attractive entry point into the tenant-dense land market.

Regional Presence and Significance: The investment represents the 9th offering in a five-county area, with over 2,000 acres managed in the Missouri Bootheel. The region's strength in rice and soybean production, supported by fertile soils and robust groundwater resources, adds to the investment's appeal.

Lease Structure: A sale-leaseback arrangement with a three-year lease and a purchase option, allowing the farmer to buy back the property at the appraised value after the lease period, providing stability and potential long-term returns.

Bear Case:

Geographic Concentration: The investment is inherently concentrated in a specific geographic location. A stagnant or depressed economy in the area could adversely affect the property's value and the ability to provide returns to investors.

Third-Party Property Managers: Dependence on third-party property managers introduces a risk factor. The success of the investment relies on their effective management, and any failure could impact the property's results of operations and reduce cash available for distributions.

Crop and Farmland Risk: Rice and soybeans, planned crops for the property, are subject to price volatility and weather conditions. Commodity price fluctuations and operational risks in farmland, including weather events and diseases, pose potential challenges to profitability.

Additional Risk Factors: Refer to the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) for a full list of risk factors, including farmland volatility, weather-related risks, and potential economic impacts on the property value.
