Description
The Lost River Farm is a 320 acre corn, soybean, wheat, and canola farm located in Marshall County, Minnesota. This investment opportunity consists of a farm with a strong production history and crop optionality in the eastern Red River Valley, a tenant-dense region that is one of North America’s most productive agricultural regions.
Regional Significance
With over 500,000 acres in corn, wheat, and soybean production, Marshall County sits in northern Minnesota. This unique agricultural region is characterized by productive soils, diverse crop rotations, and robust infrastructure for processing and transportation.
Why We Chose This Investment
Sale-Leaseback with Experienced Operator
The Lost River Farm was sourced through AcreTrader’s local network as a sale-leaseback that allows the seller to maintain operational control while unlocking equity to further expand their farming operation. The Property will be leased to the seller, who has operated the farm for the past five years and operates over 10,000 acres, for a three-year term beginning in 2026 at a base rate of $150 per tillable acre.
Crop Optionality
The northern Minnesota region boasts robust crop optionality with corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, sunflowers, barley, dry beans, and oats all being grown in the region. The Lost River Farm specifically has recently grown a rotation of corn, wheat, and canola and is capable of growing a variety of other crops.
Large, Unobstructed Tillable Tract
The Lost River Farm is a single 320 acre tract that is 97% tillable with high quality soils and no obstructions. Unobstructed, contiguous tracts of this size are rare for the region and often command a premium from operators due to their scale and ease of farming operations. For example, the scale of this contiguous tract allows the operator to plant and farm rows of approximately 1 mile each, resulting in significant efficiency.
AcreTrader’s Regional Presence

Please see the Financials tab and the Investment and Limited Liability Company Agreement for additional information.

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 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.
