Description
The Lake City Farm is a 336 acre cotton, peanut, soybean and corn farm located in Craighead County, Arkansas. This investment is an opportunity consisting of a farm with robust optionality for cotton and grain crops in a core region of the Mississippi Delta.
Regional Significance
With over 250,000 acres in cotton, corn, rice, peanut and soybean production, Craighead County sits in northeast Arkansas and is part of the broader Mississippi Delta region. We believe this region’s strength lies in the irrigated production of cotton, corn, peanuts, soybeans, and rice derived from fertile alluvial soils and robust groundwater resources.
The Lake City Farm’s investment thesis is rooted in its location and soil profile. This region of Craighead County is characterized by large, competitive tenants, prominent cotton and peanut processing infrastructure, and some of the most fertile silt loam soils in the region. This exceptional combination of fertile soils and reliable irrigation, coupled with proximity to key agricultural infrastructure, drives the region to command some of the most competitive land values and rental rates in Arkansas.
Why We Chose This Investment
Crop Optionality
The Lake City Farm has historically grown a rotation of cotton, peanuts, and soybeans and is considered capable of also growing corn. The farm is currently planted to cotton and Craighead County is the second largest cotton producing county in Arkansas and 10th largest in the United States.
Irrigation and Water Resources
The Lake City Farm benefits from reliable access to groundwater via the alluvial aquifer that underlies much of Craighead County, supporting consistent irrigation across the farm's tillable acreage. Irrigated row crop ground in this region has historically commanded a premium over dryland acreage fueled by higher average crop yields and the downside protection irrigation provides during dry growing seasons. The farm is irrigated using two groundwater wells and two center pivot irrigation systems.

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
Corn, cotton 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.
