Market
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the average cropland price is $4,130/acre and the average pasture land is about $1,390/acre. The USDA also reports that the average cropland size was 234 acres. To invest in 234 acres of cropland, an investor would have a sizable upfront cost of approximately $1 million. With the power of crowdfunding, an investor is now afforded increased access to land and farm investment.
Land and farm offer a diversified investment opportunity With a rapidly expanding population and increased scarcity of farmland, small-scale investors face the difficult challenge of sourcing funds to become competitive and active participants in the land and farm market.

Problem
Farm and land present an attractive opportunity to diversify and grow one’s investment portfolio. Unfortunately, the relatively high costs of purchasing tracts of land mean that this form of investment and its benefits are out of reach for the average investor. In addition, the research required to identify undervalued land and farm around the nation could be time consuming for most investors.

Solution
Spring Rock Holdings LLC aims to make the land and farm asset class accessible to the average investor through crowdfunding. Our firm will allow individuals to invest in land and farm without significant upfront capital. In addition, our company will save investors time by conducting the research necessary to identify undervalued land and farm properties nationwide.
Land and farm diversification, combined with our company's unique internally developed investment criteria for maximization of land and farm value, provides for an attractive investment opportunity.
