Permanent Crops

The drought challenging California farms and orchards illustrates that agri investors’ choices aren’t always black and white.

Rogue Rovers, an electric farm vehicle manufacturer, has received a $25,000 grant from Oregon BEST, the technology development company.

The US public pension giant has committed $250m to a separate account managed by Wood Creek as well as $50m to ACM’s ‘permanent crops’ fund, which aims to raise $250m.

Danica Pension is the latest LP to join the platform, preferring direct investment to committing to a fund.
