In this episode of the Faith Driven Investor podcast, hosts Richard Cunningham and Luke Roush welcome Chris Morris and John Farris, founders of LandFund Partners, to discuss their journey from a college classroom to managing 50,000 acres of farmland in the Mid-South.

Episode Highlights:

• The divine intervention that brought John and Chris together at Center College in Kentucky
• How a single idea to buy 100 acres evolved into a strategy for acquiring thousands of acres
• Why the Mississippi alluvial aquifer makes the Mid-South an attractive region for farmland investment
• The price convergence thesis between Mid-South and Midwest farmland (currently 8,000 vs 15,000 per acre)
• How LandFund Partners differentiates itself through regenerative farming practices on 100% of their properties
• The implementation of cover crops and no-till farming to restore soil health
• The three-year timeframe to see results from regenerative practices in the Mid-South
• How building regional "pods" of farmland creates greater value than the sum of individual parcels
• The importance of being good stewards of both the land and community relationships
• Farmland as an inflation hedge and "gold with a coupon" that generates consistent cash flow
• The long-term appreciation potential of farmland (5.2% annually since WWII, 6.2% in their region)
