Description
The Little Blue Organic Farm is a 483.7 acre organic corn and soybean farm located in Adams County, Nebraska. This investment opportunity consists of a farm with an established organic production history in central Nebraska, a tenant-dense farmland market with a strong organic presence.
Premium Prices from Organic Production
The United States is a net importer of organic corn and soybeans due to robust demand from domestic organic dairies and organic production of proteins including poultry, pork, and beef. From 2010 - 2020, organic premiums averaged 72% for corn and 120% for soybeans relative to conventional prices. As of September 2025, the organic premium sits at 90% for corn and 111% for soybeans. As a net importer with effectively no exports of organic corn and soybeans, protectionist trade policies and prevailing consumer preferences are expected to increase demand for domestic organic production of these commodities.
Despite this strong demand and favorable price premiums over conventional crops, domestic organic acreage has stagnated, creating strong supply/demand dynamics for domestic producers. This imbalance is further compounded by the challenging and costly three-year transition period required to certify new organic acreage. As a result, organic grain prices have seen increases in 2025 while broader, conventional commodity markets have declined or plateaued.
Major Organic Grain Production Region
As of the 2021 USDA Certified Organic Survey, Nebraska ranked as the second largest producer of organic corn with over 4.7 million bushels produced annually across over 130 certified organic operators. Nebraska also consistently ranks in the top 10 states for production of organic soybeans according to the USDA. AcreTrader currently manages two organic farms in Nebraska that are growing corn for feed as well as food-grade blue corn for chips and tortillas.
Why We Chose This Investment
Competitive Lease with Large Operator
The Property is leased through 2027 to a large local organic operator at a competitive lease rate of $415 per tillable acre. The lease also provides the potential for bonus rent in the event of organic grain prices above the hurdle rate. According to the USDA Organic Database, the current tenant ranks in the top 10 producers in Nebraska by certified organic acres.
Competitive Entry Price
According to Acres data, we believe this Property is being purchased at a below-market entry price based on available comparable sales of properties of similar size and quality in the same region, which is an active, tenant-dense land market.
Sustainable Practices
The current tenant employs a variety of production practices to comply with certified organic standards while pursuing strong crop yields. To maximize weed control, soil stability, and moisture retention, the operator plants a cover crop mixture of vetch, radish, and black sunflower immediately after harvest, leaving it in place until next spring's planting. Additionally, the tenant utilizes an organic fertilizer derived from poultry feathers. In 2026, the tenant will plant organic corn destined for organic dairies in Idaho and Colorado, with extra bushels being sent to Missouri for organic poultry feed.

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
Organic soybeans and corn 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.
