An Inside Look At The Growing Opportunity In Agricultural Investing

We talk with Chris Rawley, the CEO of HarvestReturns.com—a new way for farmers, ranchers, and landowners to raise capital without putting their farms at risk by over-leveraging with debt.

Chris, who is currently a Captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve, has invested in real estate and income-producing agriculture for nearly two decades. He conceived the idea to combine online investing, equity crowdfunding with passive investments in production agriculture a few years ago while visiting a farm investment in Central America.

With the vision of making agriculture investing an easier process, Chris founded Harvest Returns with his COO Austin Maness and brought that vision to reality.

Harvest Returns is an online platform launched in 2017 to raise capital for small to medium-size operators in private investments in production farming.

There are investors that we’ve spoken to that are really into sustainable agriculture and feel proud to own a piece of a farm and help keep those farmers in what is arguably the most important industry in the world because we are all consumers of this industry.
There’s no way to avoid it: you’re wearing products of agriculture, you’re drinking products of agriculture and obviously you’re eating them and sometimes it’s in our houses if you include timberland.
