I bought some FPI last week since farmland like timberland tends to perform well during inflationary periods.

I looked into FPI, but I passed because of the corporate structure that gives control to the managing partnership rather than the REIT shareholders.

"yields are going down in years 3 and up of use.."

Could you clarify this? GM seeds are used one year only, and crops should be rotated so you are only growing a certain crop every third or fourth year at the most. Are you saying herbicide applications are dropping yields of multiple crops?

TIA, Paul
