I don’t know about vineyards, but I haven’t seen any farmland for sale in the US right now that is remotely a good investment. You can thank corn subsidies and “hunting property”.

I strongly second this. It's still cycling down.

You're only half right here, though. $3.70 (and even $4) per bushel corn isn't supporting anything, but C/WRP and cheap crop insurance definitely will.

all i know is the guy/fund manager i talked with required a HUGE minimum investment and the returns were not worth it plus the added risk of drought/freeze etc sabotaging your investment. I'd much rather invest in my own deals OR meet some syndicators/sponsors and be a passive apartment investor get double digit returns for up to 5 years then sell and double my capital/money. good yields then great capital gains.
