Continuing Education

Iowa Events Center - Level 100 Rooms

730 3rd Street, Des Moines, IA 50309

The Land Investment Expo is excited to partner with the National Agricultural Law Center for the inaugural Farmland Continuing Education for Legal Professionals, which is a four-hour continuing legal education program presented in connection with the 2027 Land Investment Expo. The program will give attorneys a practical understanding of the legal, financial, transactional, and policy issues that arise when farmland is acquired, financed, operated, developed, or transferred.

Farmland Masterclass

IOWA EVENTS CENTER - JUNIOR BALLROOM

730 3rd Street, Des Moines, IA 50309

The financial performance characteristics of U.S. farmland ownership are attractive for any investment portfolio. The challenge is that U.S. farmland is a highly diverse asset class that requires significant expertise to acquire, manage, and dispose. This farmland masterclass is assembled to help investors broaden their technical and financial knowledge of the asset class whether they are new to farmland or experienced farmland investors. Peoples Company is proud to engage Dr. Bruce Sherrick from the University of Illinois to support the farmland masterclass. The course will break down how agricultural production is distributed regionally across the U.S. and how different production systems create financial returns for the associated farmland assets. The course will also review the challenges, opportunities, and proven strategies for building farmland portfolios, developing and executing acquisition pipelines, and managing farmland assets to maximize financial returns.
