From the website and information packet I read through it seems like a good way to dip a toe into farmland investing but haven't really been able to find any independent reviews or feedback that isn't posted directly on their website.

And the PMs and realtors I know don't want to talk to a website.

I signed up for something on Ron LeGrand's web-site (the free access portion).

There should be no upfront fees for the loan, other than an appraisal.Their website is also full of typos and grammar errors.

I can see how Gatlinburg/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge has an oversupply (even though SMNP receives the most annual visitors per year of any national park and double that of the #2 NP)… though, from what we’ve watched in the last year and gathered from our realtor in Knox, both Knoxville and Chattanooga homes are still going for over asking price which would indicate an under supply, no? 

There are not a ton of comps on Zillow or other websites that I have checked and it was last sold a while ago so even these resources are unable to give me a quote.  

No, I've not invested with SCDC, and it's not likely I will without evidence they can do / have done what they've claimed on their web site.

We have been around the bigger pockets community for over a decade now and have more 5 star reviews on bigger pockets than any company on this website in any industry (>270  5 Star reviews).

Quote from @Kimberly Venable: Good morning, I have been a lurker of this website for a while.

You can find it through the MNREIA web site or email me if you have any troubles.Type @ and the first few letters of a person's name to link.
