Anyway to invest in farmland thru equities?

Any REITS?

Farmland prices tend to move in phase with crop prices. You could do something with futures or options to gain "exposure".

I think these are investment funds trading on the ASX (Australian Stock Exchange). I haven't checked, but these might be tradable through Interactive Brokers, they just added ASX.

I suspect local banks reflect the local economy. A small rural bank in Nebraska might relate farm activity there.

Or farm equipment makers like New Holland

Farmland seems like a cant miss investment for the next decade.

DBA is ticker of the soft/agri ETF from Powershares/Deutsche Bank. Basically a basket of the AG futures like Wheat, Soybeans etc.
