Comparing Farmland Return on Investment Versus the Stock Market

Summary

The returns to land and stocks are a combination of the current returns (rents or dividends) and the value of the underlying asset (land or stocks). The value of an asset is the combination of the two over time. Sometimes land and stocks can be impacted by the same factor such as interest rates or they may be independent of each other, such as farm profitability. Both assets experience cycles and both have had positive returns in the long run.
