Farmland Partners Inc.
Farmland Partners is a real estate investment trust that buys farmland across the United States and leases it back to farmers who grow row crops like corn, soybeans, and wheat, plus specialty crops like almonds and citrus. The company was founded in 2013 by Paul Pittman, an Illinois farm kid who became a Wall Street lawyer and banker after graduating in 1985 — a tough stretch for farmers — because there was no room for him on his family's operation. The name "Farmland Partners" reflects that it partners with farmers rather than working the land itself. The company owns tens of thousands of acres across more than a dozen states.
