LANDO

Established in 1997, Gladstone Land Corporation operates as a publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) specializing in the acquisition and ownership of agricultural land and associated properties. These holdings are strategically located within prime U.S. farming regions and are subsequently leased to independent third-party farmers. The company regularly reports the aggregate market value of its farmland assets on a quarterly basis. Its current portfolio comprises approximately 127 farms, covering about 94,000 acres spread across 13 different states, with an estimated total value of $1.0 billion. Gladstone Land's properties primarily support the cultivation of annual row crops for fresh produce, such as berries and various vegetables, which are planted and harvested each year. Additionally, the company owns farms dedicated to permanent crops, including orchards yielding nuts (like almonds and pistachios) and fruits (such as apples and figs), olive groves, blueberry groves, and vineyards. While these permanent plantings typically remain productive for 10 to over 20 years, their harvests are gathered annually. Beyond farmland, Gladstone Land may also acquire agricultural infrastructure, including cooling facilities, processing plants, packaging units, and distribution centers. The company maintains a policy of providing monthly cash distributions to its stockholders. Since its initial public offering in January 2013, it has successfully made 93 consecutive monthly payments on its common stock. Over the past 23 quarters, these common distributions have been raised 20 times. Currently, the per-share distribution on its common stock is $0.0449 monthly, totaling $0.5388 annually.
