AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY EXCEL DESCRIPTION

Farmland Investment Fund – 10 Year Financial Model is an Excel template (XLSX) available for immediate download upon purchase.

A farmland investment fund is an investment vehicle that acquires, manages, and sometimes leases agricultural land to generate income and long-term capital appreciation. The fund may invest across crop types, regions, and operating models, earning returns through rental income, crop participation, land value growth, and potential improvements such as irrigation, soil enhancement, or infrastructure upgrades. Performance is driven by land quality, commodity prices, farm productivity, water access, tenant or operator relationships, and disciplined asset management.

This 10-year Farmland Investment Fund financial model is designed to evaluate fund performance, asset-level cash flows, and investor returns across a diversified agricultural land portfolio. The model forecasts capital commitments, acquisitions, lease income, crop revenue participation, operating expenses, asset management fees, financing, land appreciation, and exit proceeds, while capturing key drivers such as acreage, yield assumptions, rent rates, and capex for land improvements. The model also includes fund level expenses, and a full investor distribution waterfall—preferred return, return of capital, and carried interest—producing clear performance metrics such as IRR, MOIC, and cash distributions to show how value is shared between LPs and the GP.

The model follows Financial Modeling Best Practices and is fully customizable.

Detailed instructions for the use of the model are included in the excel file.
