The risk-adjusted returns for Midwest Farmland have outperformed almost every major asset class over the past 30 years, a fact not well known to most in the investment community. We look at some of the specific risks endemic to farmland ownership, discussing both row crops and specialty/permanent crops. The Podcast also looks at some geographical areas which might present some future opportunities.

Murray Wise
Murray Wise has over 40 years of experience in global agriculture and land markets. During the farm recession of the mid-eighties, he saw the opportunity in farm asset management and pioneered the notion of agriculture as an investable asset class. With a core client group formed by institutional investors and pension funds, Murray managed one of the largest global portfolios of agricultural land.
Murray's entrepreneurial spirit has defined his career; he founded Westchester in 1986 after acquiring the Champaign, IL division of the Sandage Companies. Murray transformed Westchester Group, Inc. from a small farmland investment firm into an industry-leading agricultural land asset management company. In 2010, Murray and the team sold the agricultural asset management division of WGI to TIAA-CREF. The Iowa farm real estate and management office, MWA Capital, and the land auction division of Westchester Group, Inc. subsequently formed Murray Wise Associates, LLC.
