The Purdue University Center for Commercial Agriculture published research on farmland values. In its analysis, the Center found that over a period of time that spanned various market cycles (1914.2011) farmland values were highly correlated with inflation with a correlation coefficient of 0.63 between land prices and the Consumer Price Index. In addition, farmland's returns to major asset classes such as the US. 10-Year Treasury and the S&P 500 Index, as noted in the chart below (based on research from The Center for Farmland Research at the University of Illinois), demonstrate farmland's potential ability to diversify a portfolio.

With less debt, farmland has been and may be more resistant to interest rate changes, credit shocks and financial recessions. During the financial crisis in MK the NCREIF Farmland Index generated robust gross cumulative gains while the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index generated substantial losses. 152 CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED.
