• The geographic concentration of the Investment’s portfolio could cause it to be more susceptible to adverse weather, economic or regulatory changes or developments in the market in which the Property is located, than if it owned a more geographically diverse portfolio.

• If the Investment Property does not have access to adequate water supplies or proper drainage, then it could have a material adverse impact on the operations and the value of the Property.

• Future climate changes could materially adversely impact the Investment’s operations and the value of the Property, and consequently the amounts it is able to distribute to Members. 

• The Investment Property may experience negative financial impacts from worldwide pandemics, such as Covid-19, that may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

• Agricultural technology enhancements, including genetic engineering, could adversely impact the Investment’s anticipated returns, which in turn could have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
