Industry Intelligence Webinar: Colvin & Co., LLP, Discusses Understanding Farmland As An Investment

Marc Schober and Patrick Cheney of Colvin & Co will look at farmland as an investment class in an Industry Intelligence i2live webinar on January 23

LOS ANGELES (I-Newswire) January 10, 2013 - Industry Intelligence Inc., a market intelligence and information management company serving the forest products, packaging, and food and beverage industries, today announced it will offer a webinar with Marc Schober and Patrick Cheney of Colvin & Co. on January 23. This presentation will look at the global demand for agriculture and how it impacts the growth of U.S. farmland as an investment class.

According to recent Federal Reserve Bank Surveys, cropland values in the U.S. have increased by more than 20% in the past 12 months in the Corn Belt. Farmland is becoming a long-term investment option to provide a steady stream of income and capital, driven by the increasing global demand for agricultural commodities, the growing world population and a continued demand for ethanol and bio-fuels.

The webinar is hosted by Industry Intelligence, Inc. as part of its ongoing series of market-relevant, value-added accessible content. This presentation is sponsored by the World Forest Institute conference “Who Will Own the Forests? 9” and the University of Georgia Center for Forest Business 2013 Timberland Investment Conference.
