Description
The Crossroads Farm is a 239.3 acre peanut, cotton, corn, and soybean farm located in Early County, Georgia. This investment opportunity consists of an irrigated farm with optionality for peanut, cotton, and grain crops in a core sub-region of the Coastal Plains.
Why We Chose This Investment
Crop Optionality and Competitive Grain Markets
Early County, situated in the heart of southwest Georgia, boasts a powerful agricultural economy heavily rooted in commercial row-crop production and livestock. The Crossroads Farm has grown a rotation of peanuts, cotton, corn and soybeans with peanuts and cotton being the most prominent crops in southwest Georgia. While peanuts and cotton garner the most attention in the region, Georgia is historically a grain-deficit state due to the local demand from Georgia’s massive poultry, equine, and cattle industries. Almost all of the corn and feed grains grown within Early County are funneled directly into the local and regional animal feed market, historically enabling producers to capitalize on the positive basis (local cash prices above futures market prices).
Prominent Peanut Production Area
The Crossroads Farm has grown peanuts on at least a portion of the farm in five of the last seven years. Georgia is the largest peanut producing state with approximately 47% of the peanuts grown in the United States produced in Georgia annually. Early County carries the nickname “Peanut Capital of the World” and is perennially one of the top ten peanut producing counties in the country. Due to the concentration of peanut acreage, southwest Georgia also features robust peanut processing infrastructure with at least three companies or cooperatives operating buying points, shelling facilities, and cold storage facilities.

Please see the Financials tab and the Investment and Limited Liability Company Agreement for additional information. The Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) is available in the Documents tab to be viewed or downloaded. The PPM and offering descriptions should be read carefully to fully understand the objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses of an investment.
Risk Factors
Please refer to the PPM for the full list of risk factors.
Geographic Concentration
The Company’s activities will be limited to acquiring and holding the Property as an investment and are therefore inherently concentrated in a specific geographic location. A stagnant or depressed economy in the area in which the Property is located could adversely affect the value of the Property and the Company’s ability to provide a return or any profit to investors.
Third-party property managers may not be effective
The Manager, on behalf of the Company, may retain third-party property managers who will, under the supervision of the Manager, oversee the day-to-day operations of the Property by the tenants. The success of the Company will, accordingly, depend on the performance of such third-party property managers, and their failure to successfully perform their management duties could adversely impact the Property’s results of operations and could reduce cash available for distributions to Members of the Company.
Crop Risk
Peanuts, Cotton, Corn and Soybeans are planned to be grown on the Property. These commodities are subject to price volatility that could result in selling prices below break-even for the operator. Commodities are also subject to weather conditions including but not limited to drought, flood, and hail.
Farmland Risk
Farmland investments are also subject to additional risks including volatility in commodity prices, weather events or disease that could damage crops and many other operational factors.
