WindRock interviews Hunt Stookey, Director of Research and Investment Strategy at Ceres Partners. Mr. Stookey discusses why farmland values, despite strong performance, are not overvalued and offer a great opportunity for the following reasons: caloric consumption growth from a rising standard of living in China and other developing countries; shortages in global food stockpiles; low debt levels and lack of institutional money by buyers of farmland (typically other farmers); and substantial income from leasing farmland to operators which is especially relevant in today's environment of ultra-low interest rates.
