One strategy to take advantage of the rolling boom in US farmland prices is buying a US farmland ETF ( exchange traded fund)

Data from US farmland prices & statistics show, since 2000, U.S. farmland prices have risen by 58% after inflation, according to the FDIC. And since 2003, they’ve risen by over 10% annually.

To put it in real numbers, the average price of an acre of U.S. farmland more than doubled from $1030 in 1999 to $2350 in 2008.

Investing In farmland Via ETF

One strategy to take advantage of this boom in US farmland prices is buying a US farmland ETF ( exchange traded fund). ETFs investing in farmland are not plentiful but they are out there.

Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF

One US farmland ETF that we are aware of is the Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (NYSE:MOO). This farmland ETF is listed in NYSE.

It is cheaper to buy an ETF than to go out and buy a farmland.
