Investment Highlight

Macon County, IL

Quality Asset/Prime Location: Class A- soil types in top-tier location, with a deep pool of excellent operators and grain merchandising options. Macon County is a perennial leader in national corn and soybean yields and production.
Strong Cash Rent: Hertz’s network allowed us to reach a very favorable, 2-year cash rent deal with an outstanding, well-capitalized local operator even prior to purchase.
Wind Turbine Income: Nearly new turbine generates an attractive stream of annual income that supplements and diversifies income from farming. Escalation clause means income will grow and keep pace with inflation.
Sourcing/Management: Hertz already managed several nearby farms, giving us real advantages in terms of understanding this farm’s production history and potential, local dynamics and cash rental rates, best/strongest operators in the community, etc. – increasing our safety cushion and confidence in the opportunity.
