Have been looking at putting about 10% of my investment dollars in to a land purchase. The land is currently in a crp contract with 7 years left on it. The current crp contract returns about 3.5% annually so that would be 7 years at that rate. Land historically in that area has increased 8% annually. So figuring 3.5% from crp and half of the 8% annual increase,to be very conservative, gives a 7.5% effective annual yield over the life of the current CRP contract. Thoughts on this as a pretty secure addition to investment portfolio? This would be my only bare farm ground I own and it is located in another state although not sure if that matters. Appreciate others input and thoughts. May have some follow up questions to this depending on replies. Thanks in advance.
