Forward guidance
The company anticipates challenges in the permanent crop farm market due to lower crop prices, higher input costs, and water uncertainty, but expects row crop farms to continue to perform well. They are taking a different approach to leases on some permanent crop farms, granting tenants cash allowances in exchange for a larger share of crop proceeds. They are actively working to resolve tenancy issues on certain farms and are in discussions to lease or sell properties.
Tailwinds
- Annual row crop farms continue to perform well in terms of value appreciation and rent growth.
- The company is acquiring more water at below-market prices, providing additional water security.
- Nearly 100% of borrowings are at fixed rates, maintaining balance sheet strength.
- High levels of liquidity and overall access to capital are maintained.
- Declared monthly cash distributions of $0.0467 per share of common stock for each of October, November, and December.
Headwinds
- Permanent crop farms in the west have been negatively impacted by lower crop prices, higher input costs, and water uncertainty.
- Six properties are either vacant or being direct-operated via agreements with third-party management groups.
- Portions of four properties are held for sale.
- There are continuing tenancy issues on certain of the company's farms.
- NAV per share decreased primarily due to valuation decreases in certain of the company's farms.
