Becoming a Member

Membership participation is open only to organizations that are owners, managers, and farmers of large-scale farmland portfolios, typically in excess of 12,000 acres held for farming in multiple states or a portfolio valuation in excess of $250 million. 

Member organizations will each have a seat at the table in a nonpolitical, nonpartisan, and noncompetitive environment working in collaboration with fellow thought leaders in the sector. Together, member representatives will define and prioritize topics and issues to be addressed by the Farmland Capital Alliance on behalf of its member organizations.
