DENVER, April 11, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSE: FPI) (the "Company" or "FPI") sold approximately 303 acres of North Carolina farmland to a large solar power developer for $4 million on Wednesday. The Company realized a net gain of nearly $2.3 million, or 132%, on the disposition.

The parcel was part of a 944-acre farm that FPI acquired in 2015. It will continue to rent the remaining farmland to a local farmer.

"This sale is great news for our shareholders because of the more than 2X gain we achieved," said FPI Chairman and CEO Paul Pittman. "It’s also emblematic of our Company’s strategy to work with renewable energy producers, when possible, to maximize returns and benefit the environment."

FPI also leases land to renewable energy producers. Its portfolio includes five solar and three wind projects, which collectively have the capacity to generate more than 110 megawatts of electricity.
