AgroNomics, Vision 2012

A U.S. Ag Investment Conference

AgroNomics – Vision 2012 was held October 24-28, 2011 in Phoenix, AZ and offered interaction opportunities for investors and fund managers together with the land management, property valuation, agricultural consulting, and rural land & property sales experts of the American Society of Farm Mangers & Rural Appraisers.

With the increasing interest among national and international investors and fund managers to acquire U.S. farm land, ASFMRA’s goal with the AgroNomics conference was to meet the needs of all parties involved in these transactions. Land investors and fund managers need to:

• Know the true value as well as the potential value of a property;
• Be able to identify and buy valuable land and make a
  good investment;
• Have the right operators to manage the property
  for the long term;
• Provide solid leases to obtain positive results on
  their investment;
• Obtain annual reports that accurately indicate the
  value and worth of the property.

ASFMRA’s farm managers, rural appraisers and agricultural consultants are the recognized industry leaders and known experts with the skill set to benefit land investors and fund managers.
