Macro Comments

  • COVID-19 and international trade: In early 2020, row crops were negatively impacted by lower gasoline consumption and ethanol demand. In late 2020, row crops recovered due to increasing exports and tighter global supplies. Selected specialty crops were affected by COVID-19 and the decrease in hospitality, restaurants and bars, entertainment, and travel business volumes. For example, lemons, which are primarily consumed at bars and restaurants, saw a decrease in price and demand. Certain specialty crops, such as almonds, were impact by a combination of COVID-19-related logistics slowdowns and international trade tensions, resulting in extended sales cycles and weaker prices.
  • Farm income: USDA data shows farm income was strong in 2020, growing over 20% (excluding the impact of direct government payments). 2021 farm income is forecasted to grow 15% (excluding the impact of direct government payments).

"During the pandemic, farmland assets held their value very well and avoided much of the volatility experienced in other real estate asset classes," said Paul A. Pittman, the Company's Chairman and CEO.  "In a year plagued with uncertainty, we focused on things we could control, including opportunistic asset sales at attractive internal rates of return, continuing to demonstrate the strength in our asset values, and accretive stock repurchases at an average price that we believe to be approximately 50% of our net asset value per share at the time of such repurchases.  FPI revenue performance in 2020 was challenging, partly due to COVID-19.  Specialty crops subject to crop share revenue arrangements were impacted by the large decline in hotel occupancy and restaurant sales, both of which are major drivers of consumption for certain specialty crops.  We expect that demand and pricing for specialty crops will improve in 2021 and that strong price projections for corn and soybeans, driven by high exports and low inventory levels, will generate great results for our row-crop tenants."
