FAQ

At Dewitt, we offer flexible options to help landowners and farmers transition their land ownership while maintaining their farming operations or securing long-term value. Here are your options for selling your land or farm with us:

1. Sell and Lease Back:

   • You can sell your land to Dewitt and continue to operate it through a long-term lease agreement. This option allows you to unlock the capital tied up in your land while maintaining full control of your farming operations. It's a great choice if you need liquidity but want to keep farming.

2. Outright Sale:

   • If you’re ready to retire or move on from farming, you can sell your land outright to Dewitt. We offer competitive market-based valuations, and this option provides you with a clean, straightforward exit from ownership.

3. Partial Sale:

   • You can sell a portion of your land to Dewitt and retain ownership of the rest. This option gives you flexibility if you want to scale down your operations or free up some capital while continuing to farm a smaller portion of your land.

4. Collaborative Transition:

   • If you’re interested in selling your farm to a new generation of farmers, Dewitt can work with you to find a solution that aligns with your goals. This may involve transitioning the land under a new lease agreement, while you step back from full-time farming.

Each option is designed to provide flexibility, allowing you to make the best decision based on your financial and operational needs. We’re here to guide you through the process and ensure you get the value you deserve.

At Dewitt, we are dedicated to helping farmers like you maximize efficiency and productivity through access to innovative technologies and strategic land management solutions. Here’s how we can help you farm more ground more efficiently:

1. Access to Precision Agriculture Technology:

   • Through our REIT model, we provide access to cutting-edge precision agriculture tools, such as GPS-guided equipment, soil and crop monitoring sensors, and data analytics platforms. These technologies allow you to make informed decisions, optimize input use, and reduce waste, enabling you to farm more land with greater efficiency.

2. Capital for Expansion:

   • By selling your land to Dewitt and entering into a lease-back agreement, you can unlock the capital needed to invest in more land or upgrade your existing operations. This additional liquidity gives you the financial flexibility to expand your farming operations without the burden of owning the land.

3. Streamlined Operations with Automation:

   • We partner with technology providers to offer advanced automated machinery and equipment, such as GPS-guided tractors and harvesters, which help you manage larger areas of land with less labor. Automation reduces time spent on manual tasks, so you can cover more ground more effectively.

4. Sustainable Resource Management:

   • With the help of smart irrigation systems and real-time soil and weather monitoring, you can manage water, fertilizer, and other resources more efficiently. By reducing waste and optimizing input use, you can farm more ground sustainably while keeping your costs down.

5. Collaborative Land Management:

   • Dewitt can help you scale your farming operations by providing additional leased land, allowing you to farm more acreage without the upfront cost of purchasing the land. This enables you to expand your footprint and increase productivity without overextending your finances.

Through a combination of advanced technology, access to capital, and innovative land management solutions, Dewitt is committed to helping you farm more efficiently, sustainably, and profitably.

At Dewitt, we focus on acquiring a variety of farm types to diversify our portfolio and support sustainable agricultural practices. Here are the main types of farms we typically purchase:

1. Row Crop Farms:

   • We purchase farms that grow staple crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and other grains. These types of farms are foundational to agriculture and provide stable, long-term returns, making them a key focus for our investment portfolio.

2. Specialty Crop Farms:

   • Farms that produce fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other high-value specialty crops are also of interest. These farms are often located in regions with specific growing conditions and can offer higher profitability through premium pricing and market demand.

3. Organic and Sustainable Farms:

   • As sustainability becomes increasingly important to consumers and investors, we actively seek out farms that use organic or sustainable farming methods. These farms align with our mission to promote environmentally responsible practices while delivering strong financial returns.

4. Livestock Farms:

   • We consider livestock farms, including cattle, dairy, and poultry operations. These farms are integral to the agricultural economy and provide a steady income stream through the production of meat, milk, and eggs.

5. Mixed-Use Farms:

   • Mixed-use farms that combine crop production and livestock operations are also a key part of our portfolio. These farms provide diversification within a single property, enhancing operational efficiency and risk management.

6. Irrigated Farmland:

   • We target farms with advanced irrigation systems that enable consistent yields even in regions with variable weather conditions. These farms are often more productive and provide higher long-term value.

Our focus is on purchasing farms that have a strong potential for operational efficiency, long-term growth, and alignment with sustainable practices. Whether you own a row crop farm, specialty crop operation, or a mixed-use farm, Dewitt is interested in exploring how we can partner with you.
