Tanner Winterhof on The Future of Farm Ownership

“Farm4Profit Podcast” co-host Tanner Winterhof highlights the magnitude of this shift: “We’re talking over a million acres under the ownership of investment giants. They’re seeing farmland as a juicy hedge against inflation and a lucrative piece of the global food demand puzzle.”

Tanner Winterhof, founder of Farm4Profit, recently traveled to Clewiston, Florida — America’s sugar capital — and learned how the sugar industry is working to enhance agricultural practices and profitability.

The world cannot live without farmers, but for farmers, thriving and even staying afloat in today's competitive, rapidly changing, and global marketplace is becoming harder than ever.
