Investing in Agriculture with Ethan Branscum

In this episode of Farm4Profit, we welcome Ethan Branscum, Partner and Director of Farmland Investments at Sower Farmland Fund and Legacy Farmland Fund. With a rich background in ag finance and credit, Ethan brings deep insight into the evolving intersection of agriculture and alternative investment. He shares how his Arkansas roots and education at the University of Arkansas led him to help build farmland portfolios that prioritize legacy, flexibility, and profitability.

Ethan introduces us to the mission of the Legacy Farmland Fund—a unique investment model that allows landowners to exchange their farmland for equity shares, retaining long-term exposure to land returns without the daily grind. This innovative approach helps preserve family legacy while increasing liquidity and reducing operational burden.

We also explore what makes farmland a compelling investment class in today’s economy, how tech is reshaping land valuation and management, and which regions are gaining investor traction. For producers, Ethan shares what he looks for in a farm operator, how to build strong partnerships, and what success looks like in Sower’s collaborative model. If you're a farmer navigating land ownership or an investor curious about ag opportunities, this conversation delivers both inspiration and strategy.

🎧 Listen now and explore how farmland is shaping the future of investing—one acre at a time.
