I'm doing a self-funded search for a $2-3M ranch in northern Nevada. Does anyone have experience in the agriculture industry and want to connect?

Hey Link, it's still early in my search, but from what I've learned so far, much of the income for ranches and farms comes from insurance via the USDA (PRF insurance for ranches). This is at least true in the dry areas, where the payouts are bigger the drier the year is. There is also money to be made from preserving and/or maintaining public land, and it also depends how many "heads" (animals) a ranch has. Generally, this industry is probably not a first choice if you're just interested in ROI--I'm buying a lifestyle!

I do not but have often wondered if there is a way to pull this off with farm type properties. It seems like so much of the value is in the real estate and often not enough income to support the debt. Would love to learn what you find out and connect!
