Acquire off-market farms

• Buying farms that we’d be happy to own forever—building a great business over the long-term  
• Leverage generational know-how, stable market demand and pricing, along with digital transformation to acquire off-market, local farms looking for liquidity and diversification. 
• 98% of farms are family owned; difficult for investors to access the asset class, yet, once sufficiently consolidated, this will attract a wide variety of exit partners. 
• Why now? Regulation is hard and costly for independent/family farms to comply with. Having patient capital allows us to be patient for not only good deals, but great deals, particularly given the increased demand for liquidity and diversification. 

Build Strength Through Consolidation

• Our fully-integrated model, combining ownership, operation, capital access, and deep farming expertise, provides an unparalleled competitive advantage against smaller family farms or large investors who lack this comprehensive approach. 
• Strategic Positioning in Response to Regulatory and Market Dynamics: Led by visionary management with deep-rooted industry experience, our operational strategy is finely tuned to navigate complex regulatory landscapes, such as those posed by the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).
• Prioritize workforce development and cutting-edge ag-tech to maximize farm efficiency and investor returns, while implementing sustainable solutions like water optimization and solar power. 

Leverage Digital Transformation to Capitalize On Market Opportunities 

• Data-Driven Decision Making: We employ advanced analytics to guide investment decisions, using big data to pinpoint market opportunities and optimize resource distribution for maximum profitability.
• CMC Opportunity Fund is enhancing our digital infrastructure to improve connectivity across our operations. This initiative aims to streamline communication between management, staff, and external partners, ensuring that information flows efficiently and decision-making is as informed and timely as possible.
• Digital Platforms for Market Access: CMC uses digital platforms to streamline trading and inventory management, enabling quicker market access and direct engagement with consumers to swiftly adapt to their changing needs.

• CMC Opportunity Fund is actively investigating emerging smart farming technologies, including IoT sensors, autonomous machinery, and drone technology. While assessing their feasibility and potential integration, we're poised to adopt these innovations to enhance efficiency and sustainability as soon as they become practical and cost-effective.

Provide stable and consistent cash flow 

Our fund is expected to return 15%+ IRR, along with an annual 8% return on cash, over a 20-30 year period, as farms continue to meet market demand reach maturity and we take advantage of local farm consolidation and estate planning needs for liquidity. 

This financial performance is anchored in our strategic approach to acquiring and consolidating off-market local farms, which are often undervalued or underutilized. By targeting farms with high potential for efficiency improvements and scalability, we unlock significant value over time, ensuring that each farm contributes optimally to the fund's overall financial goals.
