AMA - Farming Coop Investment

Victor Menasce
About this episode

Today's question comes from Juanita. 

I follow your podcast and am a US Citizen. During the volatility being caused by tariffs, I am examining ways reduce my consumer exposure to trade war. I am think of buying into a farming co-op. I am feeling the global prices rise in my grocery bill and trying to find creative ways to get out.

1) Do you think farming co-op is a good temporary shield to current trade war?

2) How would you evaluate a real estate co-op purchase into a farming co-op to see if it economically makes sense versus riding out the trade war?
