About American Farmland Owner
CULTIVATING LANDOWNER'S KNOWLEDGE
Since its founding in 2017, American Farmland Owner (AFO) has been dedicated to cultivating a sense of community for farmland owners and empowering them through education and collaboration. AFO aims to help landowners make informed decisions for their farmland while ensuring the prosperity of American agriculture. Recognizing the lack of a consistent and reliable source for landowners to get their news, AFO stepped in to fill this crucial gap and serve as a trusted source and gathering place Where Landowners Get Their News®. AFO plays a pivotal role in keeping landowners informed about the latest developments and trends in the agricultural industry. This commitment ensures that farmland owners are well-equipped to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of agriculture in order to promote the longevity of their farms for generations to come.
​
In the fall of 2023, AFO took a significant step in this direction by bringing on Dave Price, a premier Iowa-based journalist and former executive news producer, to contribute agricultural news reporting and analysis as well as in-depth one-on-one interviews with industry thought leaders. Dave's expertise and experience in reporting is invaluable in delivering accurate, concise, and up-to-date information to farmland owners across the nation.
​
In partnership, the AFO apparel brand serves as not just a badge of honor but also as a symbol of commitment and dedication by American farmland owners to improving their stewardship of American farmland.
AFO is proud to be the voice of American farmland owners, not only by celebrating their contributions but also by providing the knowledge and resources necessary to build a bright and sustainable future for our nation's agricultural legacy.
OUR MISSION
