We’re proud to announce that we’ve raised more than $15MM of farmland capital and have invested $8MM in leading farmers across the Midwest. This comes at a time of immense financial strain for America’s farmers.

Despite this, farmers need more capital than ever before, and Fractal exists to meet this need while keeping farmers at the center of our agricultural system.
