Gladstone Land(NASDAQ) LAND

Gladstone Land Corporation owns farmland across the United States. It rents this land to farmers who grow food. This lets farmers work without the cost of ownership.

What Does the Company Own?

• Fresh Produce Farmland: Land used for annual crops like berries and vegetables; often leased on a triple-net basis where tenants pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
• Permanent Crop Farmland: Farms dedicated to crops like almonds, pistachios, and wine grapes; these typically produce harvests for 10 to over 20 years.
• Agricultural Infrastructure: Buildings and facilities used for farming operations; includes cooling units, processing plants, and distribution centers.
• Water Assets: Ownership of 55,649 acre-feet of water rights and infrastructure in California; an acre-foot is a unit of volume used for irrigation.

• Completed the sale of two farms in Florida totaling 617 acres for $3.2 million in July 2026.

Standing Out in the Field

• Net loss attributable to common stockholders reached $13.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026.

The Bottom Line

Gladstone Land has grown into a diverse owner of nearly 100,000 acres of American farmland. Its focus on specialty crops and water rights supports its long-term role in the agricultural supply chain.
