Tariffs and Trade
Current report
Ongoing trade tensions and the implementation of new tariffs continue to introduce uncertainty into U.S. agricultural exports markets. Certain crops grown on our farms, including almonds and pistachios, are particularly exposed to these risks, as approximately 60% to 80% of U.S.-produced almonds and pistachios are exported annually. In contrast, crops with strong domestic demand, such as fresh produce (including berries and vegetables), are generally less affected by trade-related disruptions.
Current report
Although international trade developments have affected sentiment in export-oriented crop markets, pricing for almonds and pistachios continues to be primarily driven by fundamental supply and demand dynamics. The USDA’s most recent Almond Objective Forecast projects a larger-than-expected harvest for 2025, which initially exerted downward pressure on prices. However, market pricing has since partially rebounded, and almond prices remain above levels observed at this time last year. As we move into harvest, further clarity is expected regarding the forecast’s accuracy and its impact on overall pricing.
Current report
Pistachios continue to experience strong international demand, although limited inventory has constrained current market activity. Demand for pistachio-based ingredients is also rising, driven by broader consumer trends and international market growth. The 2025 U.S. pistachio crop is projected to be the largest on record, fueled by an increase in bearing acreage. While this expansion is expected to continue in the near term as existing plantings mature, the pace of new orchard development has slowed in recent years, a trend we expect will persist.
Current report
We continue to monitor tariff discussions and trade policy developments closely, but the full impact on crop prices and grower economics remains uncertain. Prolonged disruptions to export markets could impact lease structures and participation rent levels on the affected farms. Additionally, significant increases in tariffs or unfavorable trade terms for almonds or pistachios could lead to us allocating additional capital to support crop production under certain lease agreements, in exchange for higher participation rents.
Current report
Another key factor impacting export demand is the strength of the U.S. dollar. A weaker dollar enhances the global competitiveness of U.S. agricultural exports, which may help offset any adverse effects of tariffs and trade constraints and potentially drive increased demand for domestically-grown products.
Current report
From April 1, 2025, through the date of this filing, we entered into the following loan agreement (dollars in thousands):
Current report
(1)The majority of proceeds from this loan were used to repay a $10.3 million maturing loan that bore interest at 3.85%.
Current report
In connection with securing the above borrowings, Gladstone Securities LLC (“Gladstone Securities”), an affiliate of ours, earned total financing fees of approximately $15,000.

Tariffs
Previous report
Ongoing trade tensions and the recent implementation of new tariffs have introduced added uncertainty for many U.S. agricultural exports, including certain crops grown on some of our farms, including almonds and pistachios. While fresh produce, including berries and most vegetables, is more insulated due to strong domestic consumption, approximately 60%-70% of U.S.-grown almonds and pistachios are exported annually. As a result, these crops are more vulnerable to shifting trade dynamics and potential retaliatory tariffs. While the full impact on crop prices and grower economics remains uncertain, we continue to monitor developments closely, as any sustained disruption to export markets could influence lease structures and participation rent levels on the affected farms.
Previous report
Another factor influencing export demand is a weakening U.S. dollar. A weaker dollar makes U.S. exports more price-competitive in the global marketplace, which may help mitigate any negative effects of tariffs.

Property Sales
Previous report
In January 2025, we completed the sale of five farms in Florida totaling 5,630 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of approximately $52.5 million. Including closing costs, we recognized a net gain on the sale of approximately $14.1 million.
Previous report
In February 2025, we completed the sale of two farms in Nebraska totaling 2,559 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of $12.0 million. Including closing costs, we recognized an aggregate net gain on these sales of approximately $1.6 million.

Farm Credit Notes Payable—Interest Patronage
Previous report
From time to time since September 2014, we, through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, have entered into various loan agreements (collectively, the “Farm Credit Notes Payable”) with 13 different Farm Credit associations (collectively, “Farm Credit”). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded interest patronage of approximately $1.7 million related to interest accrued on the Farm Credit Notes Payable during the year ended December 31, 2024, and during the three months ended September 30, 2024, we received approximately $108,000 of interest patronage, as certain Farm Credit associations paid a portion of the 2024 interest patronage (which relates to interest accrued during 2024 but typically would be paid during the first half of 2025) early. In total, 2024 interest patronage resulted in a 21.9% reduction (approximately 101 basis points) to the interest rates on such borrowings. For further discussion on interest patronage, refer to Note 4, “Borrowings—Farm Credit Notes Payable—Interest Patronage,” in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are an externally-managed, agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is primarily in the business of owning and leasing farmland, occasionally through lease structures that include a variable rent component based on the gross revenues generated from certain farms in lieu of fixed base rent. We are not generally a grower of crops, nor do we typically farm the properties we own; however, from time to time, and on a temporary basis, we may also directly operate certain of our farms via management agreements with third-party operators and/or through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) of ours. We currently own 150 farms totaling 103,001 acres across 15 states in the U.S. and 55,350 acre-feet of water assets in California. We also own several farm-related facilities, such as cooling facilities, packinghouses, processing facilities, and various storage facilities. In addition, two of our properties (comprising four farms) are currently being directly operated.

Most of our leases are on a triple-net basis, an arrangement under which, in addition to rent, the tenant is required to pay the related taxes, insurance costs, maintenance, and other operating costs. Our leases generally have original terms ranging from 3 to 10 years for farms growing row crops and 7 to 15 years for farms growing permanent crops (in each case, often with options to extend the lease further). Our lease agreements will generally include one of the following rental structures: (i) fixed base cash rents, (ii) fixed base cash rents, plus a variable component, referred to as “participation rents,” based on the gross revenues generated from the respective farms, or, to a lesser extent, (iii) no fixed base cash rents (or, in certain cases, a cash allowance to cover certain operating or capital costs), in exchange for a significantly higher share of participation rents. Fixed base cash rent is generally payable to us in advance on either an annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis, with such rent typically subject to periodic escalation clauses as set forth within the lease, while participation rent is generally payable to us annually, often in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Currently, 92 of our farms are leased on a pure, triple-net basis, 46 farms are leased on a partial-net basis (with us, as landlord, responsible for all or a portion of the related property taxes), 3 farms are leased on a single-net basis (with us, as landlord, responsible for the related property taxes, as well as certain maintenance, repairs, or insurance costs), 4 farms are direct-operated, and 5 farms are vacant. Additionally, 24 of our farms are leased under agreements that include a variable rent component, called “participation rents,” that are based on the gross revenues earned on the respective farms (though such leases often include a guarantee of a minimum amount of rental income).

We are currently exploring a variety of options with certain of our 2025 lease expirations, including negotiating lease terms with existing and prospective new tenants and discussing sale options with prospective buyers. In addition, while we seek to lease all properties under traditional leases that involve a certain level of fixed base rent, with respect to expirations on certain western permanent crop farms, we may decide to continue with an adjusted lease structure that involves a reduced base rent amount (or none) and/or, in certain cases, a cash lease incentive, in exchange for increasing the participation rent components, or we may decide to continue to operate certain of these properties ourselves via third-party management agreements. Regarding all vacancies and upcoming lease expirations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew the existing leases or execute new leases at rental rates favorable to us, if at all, or be able to find replacement tenants, if necessary.

Impact of Inflation, Interest Rates, and Tariffs and Trade
Previous wording
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index (“CPI”) rose at an annual rate of 2.4% through March 31, 2025, continuing the downward trend from the inflation peak in mid-2022. Food price increases have also slowed but remain elevated, with the overall food category rising at an annual rate of 3.0% over the same period. Notably, over the past three years, food prices have risen by 14.2%, outpacing the overall CPI increase of 11.2%. While high input costs remain a concern for farm operators, we believe these costs will be somewhat offset if food prices continue to match or exceed the inflation rate.

After holding rates steady since July 2023, the Federal Reserve initiated its first rate cut in over four years in September 2024, lowering the benchmark federal funds rate by 50 basis points and signaling a potential shift toward an easing of monetary policy. However, since that initial cut, the Federal Reserve has held off on further reductions, as stronger-than-anticipated economic data (particularly in the labor and consumer spending sectors), along with growing uncertainty around the duration and impact of newly-imposed tariffs, have renewed inflationary concerns. As a result, U.S. Treasury yields have remained elevated, with the 10-year Treasury consistently trading above 4.3% in recent months. Furthermore, despite earlier expectations of multiple rate cuts, the timing and pace of any future easing remains highly uncertain. The ongoing volatility in the interest rate environment continues to affect the cost of long-term financing, constraining our ability to pursue new farmland acquisitions at favorable terms.
Current wording
The Federal Reserve initiated a brief rate-cutting cycle in September 2024—its first in over four years—lowering the benchmark federal funds rate by a total of 100 basis points before pausing in December 2024. Since then, stronger-than-anticipated economic data, particularly in the labor market and consumer spending, combined with ongoing uncertainty regarding the scope and impact of newly-imposed tariffs, have reignited inflationary concerns. As a result, the Federal Reserve has held rates steady, and U.S. Treasury yields have remained elevated, with the 10-year Treasury consistently trading above 4.4% in recent months. Although earlier expectations called for multiple rate cuts in 2025, the timing and pace of any future monetary easing remain highly uncertain. Continued volatility in the interest rate environment has sustained upward pressure on long-term financing costs, which may constrain our ability to pursue new farmland acquisitions on favorable terms.
Previous wording
Currently, over 99.9% of our borrowings are at fixed rates, and on a weighted-average basis, these rates are fixed at an effective interest rate of 3.41% for another 3.4 years. As a result, our existing debt portfolio has been largely insulated from the sharp rise in interest rates over the past couple of years, and we believe we are well-protected against the potential for prolonged elevated interest rates or any future rate increases.

The 2024-2025 water year has aligned with a typical “La Niña” weather pattern, bringing increased precipitation to Northern California and drier conditions in the southern part of the state. Northern regions experienced significant rainfall and snow from multiple atmospheric river events during the winter, while portions of Southern California remain affected by varying levels of drought conditions. Overall, this marks the third consecutive year of average or above-average precipitation statewide.
Current wording
The 2024-2025 water year has followed a typical “La Niña” weather pattern, bringing above-average precipitation to Northern California and drier conditions in the southern part of the state. Northern California experienced multiple atmospheric river events during the winter, resulting in substantial rainfall and snowpack accumulation. In contrast, portions of Southern California continue to experience varying degrees of drought.
Previous wording
Notably, late-season rain and snow events have led to peak snowpack levels occurring after the April 1 historical average, supporting strong snowmelt runoff through the spring and into early summer. In addition, statewide reservoir levels remain above historical norms, which is expected to support favorable surface water allocations from both State and Federal water projects. During periods of abundant surface water flows, water purveyors often have surplus water supplies that can be acquired at lower prices. We continue to monitor these opportunities to strengthen our long-term water strategy.
Current wording
This marks the third consecutive year of average or above-average precipitation statewide. Notably, late-season storms extended peak snowpack accumulation beyond the historical April 1 benchmark, providing strong snowmelt runoff through the spring and into early summer. Reservoir levels across the state remain above historical norms, contributing to favorable surface water allocations from both State and Federal water systems. Periods of surplus surface water often result in increased availability of lower-cost water from purveyors, and we continue to monitor such opportunities as part of our long-term water procurement strategy.
Previous wording
The extended wet period has also benefited our permanent crop assets by contributing to groundwater recharge and improving root zone moisture content. We are currently observing no signs of water stress in our permanent plantings that often occur during drought periods. As we move into the spring and early summer, our permanent crop assets appear healthy and well-positioned for the growing season.
Current wording
The sustained wet conditions have also positively impacted our permanent crop assets by contributing to groundwater recharge and improving root zone moisture content. To date, we have not observed any signs of water-related stress in our permanent plantings, which appear healthy and well-positioned for the upcoming growing season.
Previous wording
Meanwhile, the ongoing phased implementation of California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (“SGMA”) continues to impose groundwater pumping restrictions across the state. In response, many farmland owners and operators have turned to supplemental water initiatives and projects that allow for the capture or importation of surplus surface water. Looking ahead, we continue to actively evaluate new projects and programs aimed at offsetting the effects of SGMA-related pumping curtailments, including floodwater capture and storage initiatives, fallowing programs, and investments in infrastructure to improve overall water management.
Current wording
At the same time, the ongoing phased implementation of California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (“SGMA”) continues to impose groundwater pumping restrictions across the state. In response, we are actively evaluating and participating in supplemental water initiatives aimed at mitigating the impact of SGMA-related curtailments. These initiatives include floodwater capture and storage projects, voluntary fallowing programs, and strategic investments in water infrastructure to ensure long-term access to reliable water supplies.
Previous wording
During a portion of the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had 15 farms that were either vacant, direct-operated through third-party management agreements, or on which lease revenues were recognized on a cash basis (due to credit issues with certain tenants leading us to determine that full collectability of the remaining rental payments under the respective leases was not probable). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded lease revenue from these farms of approximately $3.7 million (including a lease termination fee of approximately $2.4 million and accelerated rental revenue of approximately $629,000 due to an early lease termination), as compared to approximately $1.7 million during the prior-year period.
Current wording
During all or a portion of the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had 17 farms that were either vacant, direct-operated through third-party management agreements, or on which lease revenues were recognized on a cash basis (due to credit issues with certain tenants leading us to determine that full collectability of the remaining rental payments under the respective leases was not probable). During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded lease revenue from these farms of approximately $3.5 million (including a lease termination fee of approximately $2.4 million and accelerated rental revenue of approximately $629,000 due to an early lease termination), as compared to approximately $3.9 million during the prior-year period.
Previous wording
During and since the three months ended March 31, 2025, we have entered into new lease agreements on certain of these farms. As such, currently, five farms remain vacant, four farms are direct-operated, and five farms (leased to three different tenants) are on non-accrual status. For the vacant and direct-operated farms, we are exploring both leasing and sale options and are in discussions with both potential tenants and buyers; however, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to secure agreements at favorable terms, or at all.

Previous wording
Regarding the farms currently on non-accrual status, we continue to work with each of the tenants to resolve the outstanding rent amounts and will seek to reach agreements on the remaining payments where possible. Such agreement, if one can be reached, may include placing the tenant on a payment plan, deferring a portion of the rent owed to us, or agreeing to terminate the lease. In the event of a termination, we estimate that we would be able to find a new tenant to lease these properties at market rental rates within 1 to 12 months.

Previous wording
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a capital gains-based incentive fee is calculated and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). The capital gains fee shall equal: (i) 15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, minus (ii) any aggregate capital gains fees paid in prior periods. For purposes of this calculation, realized capital gains and losses will be calculated as (x) the sales price of the property, minus (y) any costs to sell the property and the then-current gross value of the property (which includes the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of each fiscal year, if this figure is negative, no capital gains fee shall be paid.

Lease revenues from fixed lease payments decreased primarily due to the execution of certain lease agreements pursuant to which we agreed to reduce or eliminate the fixed base rent amounts or, in certain cases, provide the tenant with a cash lease incentive, in exchange for significantly increasing the participation rent components in the leases, the majority of which is expected to be realized in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The year-over-year decreases in lease revenues were further impacted by certain of our farms that were vacant, direct-operated through third party management agreements, or on which lease revenues were recognized on a cash basis (rather than a straight-line basis), due to full collectability of future rental payments under the respective leases deemed not to be probable as a result of tenant credit issues during all or a portion of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Previous wording
The increase in lease revenues from participation rents was primarily attributable to additional cash collections from wine grape sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Current wording
The decrease in lease revenues from participation rents was primarily attributable to the earlier recognition of amounts related to the 2023 harvest on certain farms, as additional information became available during the three months ended June 30, 2024. This timing shift resulted in the accelerated recognition of certain revenue amounts into the first half of 2024. This decrease was partially offset by increased cash collections from wine grape sales during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We continue to anticipate increased participation rents in the second half of 2025 as a result of modifications to lease structures on certain farms.
Previous wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received a lease termination payment from an outgoing tenant who leased three of our farms.
