Guess Who's Gettin' Rich From Bankrupting Farmers? J.D. Vance



JD Vance Funded AcreTrader. Here’s Why That Matters

The real estate platform streamlines investing in US farmland. Now farms are fast becoming a portfolio staple for investors worldwide.


“There’s no indication that Vance has divested from AcreTrader, and there’s every indication that that investment remains in place,” said Lisa Graves, the executive director of True North Research, an investigative research group. She points to how Vance sold off his stock in “Narya Capital Management LLC” in 2023, but that’s not the same as the (albeit similarly named) investment vehicles used to invest in AcreTrader.

up US farmland. I wonder how they got around these sorts of restrictions put in by some states? Some US farmland is restricted based on these laws.
