Investing in Farmland Pays Off For Investors

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 20, 2010 -- DGC Investment Consultants, (www.dgc-ai.com) a boutique alternative investment advisory have revealed a huge increase in demand for farmland for sale, with in-situ tenants and turnkey management packages.

"It´s not suprising that we´re seeing more savvy investors investing in farmland, as the rental yield acheieved from our managed portfolios comes in at over 6% NET, and we are able to invest in an appreciating asset at RICS valuation with a seven year lease from the tenant, and we can even build in a buyback after the lease is over, providing a secure exit strategy for clients", Said David Garner, Managing Partner at DGC.

Investing in farmland is normally the preserve of the wealthy, but the emergence of the type of managed buy-to-let packages as offered by DGC Investment Consultants is making this asset class accessible for retail investors.

"Investors choosing to invest in farmland, profit not only from the strong income at over 6%, but also growth in the value of the land, both Knight Frank and Savills have predicted annual growth of 8% for agricultural land, and the growth is fuelled by sound fundamentals." added Mr. Garner.

On one side, the demand for food from a growing population is driving up demand, and on the other side the amount of cultivated farmland is being eaten away by human development, and food crops are being eaten into for the production of biofuels.

Decreasing supply and a sharp and sustainable increase in demand is pushing land values to new highs, and whats more, this isn't going to change unless the human race shrinks or we knock down buildings.

Investing in farmland could well be the ticket for investors looking to profit simply from eveolution, and the growth of the human race.
