Broker Comments:
“Progressive has been a profitable farm for our clients for the last 9 years and has recently undergone a complete re-fit, upgrading varieties, improving watering capacity and drainage and acquiring additional land to increase production and scale. The farm is well capitalized with no debt and thoughtfully planned by an expert management team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to invest in the agricultural sector.”
