Did you search for private investors for farm to try to get funding for your US-based farming operation? It can be difficult to obtain funding for farms in the current economy but for certain investors interested in commodities, there is indeed a market for investment. This is particularly true if your farm is in a position to capitalize on renewable incentives like government subsidies for whatever you produce and harvest. No matter what your approach to farming though, to obtain outside investment you will need a business plan with a market analysis and 5-year pro forma.
Why a business plan? It is a convenient way for an outsider to immediately grasp what you do at the farm and the outside value of your agricultural outputs. It should show all of the following in detail:
• Products harvested
• Average sale price points
• Market opportunity for 5 years
• Current state of the industry
• Bios of lead farmers/owners
• Marketing required, if any
