Who buys and develops agricultural land? Farm niche

[Kyle Ferguson]

Food demand is always increasing and our fertile soils are eroding. 

I'm wondering what type of opportunities are out there for buying farmland and improving. In my line of business, I have come across a lot of farmers who want to sell their land. 

Is it profitable to buy land, improve the soil and then re-sell or lease to a farmer?

What types of opportunities do you go after in this potential niche?

What you need is some tenants like this:

Or how about multiple tenants? Stacking farming enterprises is very beneficial all the way around. You could rent to a small dairy farmer and a chicken farmer. The dairy farmer does "rotational grazing" where the cows are confined to small areas or "paddocks" and moved daily to new fresh grass daily. The chickens follow behind the cows and eat all the fly larvae and spread out the cow patties at the same time.  Then you could also rent to a cheesemaker who will turn the cows milk into a high value product.
