The social media and other platforms on the web are drenched in content that catches the spectator’s attention. Numerous content creators, marketing agencies, and brands toil hard to make their content trend and gain views. Although there is a plethora of content present on different browsers, only the unique and engaging content catches the attention of scrollers.

The recent epochal shift has digitized nearly everything. One form of content that is prevailing exceptionally in the contemporary world is videos. This recording, reproducing, and broadcasting of moving visual images steal the attention of net heads phenomenally. Following that, individuals are now used to covering thousands of kilometers on their smart screens with their thumbs by simply scrolling on different social platforms.

As a result, content is abundant. However, videos are a kind of content that stops an individual from scrolling further to view the engaging content shown in the video. The moving visuals lure individuals to keep on watching the video. If made right, videos can take information and make it easy to interpret in a short amount of time. It has been contemplated through research that a one-minute video is worth 1.8 million words.

The human brain can process visuals much quicker than it can text. About 90% of the total information transmitted to the brain is visual. Moreover, the brain can process these visuals 60,000 times faster than text. The human mind is not only more used to seeing visuals but is also better at interpreting them.

Videos are more engaging than texts and even images because they are of higher resolution. Higher resolutions mean more pixels per inch (PPI), resulting in more pixel information and creating a high-quality, crisp video. This grabs the attention of the viewer and forces them to spend time on videos.

Evident is the fact that brands and other agencies make out the most from video to increase their website traffic. They use this form of multimedia to execute constructive branding, which helps them spread their message of what products or services their brand offers. Companies that use videos on their websites have 41% more web traffic from searches than websites that do not use this innovation. Videos also drive organic traffic up by 157%. Further, one can gain this increased traffic by placing videos on their website’s landing pages. Embedding videos on landing pages can increase conversions by 80%.

Videos are an excellent form of media that has proved beneficial to both brands and content creators. However, the real challenge is to make top-quality videos to stand out in the concentrated social market. One platform which provides exceptional tools and strategies to make unique videos is InVideo. This Mumbai-based startup provides a freemium web-based editing tool that allows users to create videos that are fit to be published on popular social media platforms (such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube). Since its launch at the end of 2017, it has gained more than a million users from 195 countries who have created more than 2 million videos in over 75 languages.

The Perfect Investment: RAD Diversified and Income-Producing Farms

mm

Published

on

Amidst the global lockdown of 2020, Dutch Mendenhall, founder of RADD America, began looking for an alternative to standard residential real-estate investments. So, he turned his analysis to farms and was blown away by the immense potential he saw. After going public in late 2019, RADD America purchased US farmland and made slices of the real estate available at minimum investments of $10,000.

Income-producing farms vs. other real estate asset classes

According to Mendenhall, an apartment complex in today’s US real estate market commands approximately a 4% or 5% cap rate. Farms offer somewhere around a 15% to 20% cap rate.

“When I first began looking at investing in farms, I compared each acre to an apartment or housing unit,” Mendenhall recalls. “The variety that income-producing farms provide is what I really love about them as an opportunity. With one season producing wheat and corn the next, you can double tap — you can raise livestock on top of agriculture. Putting money into the farm only pays off in time. Everything from improving soil to increasing irrigation makes a major impact on potential income, and so much of America’s farmland has fallen into disrepair during the last 20 years.”

When Mendenhall began investing during the early days of the pandemic, sustainable acres of producing farmland sold anywhere from $3,500 to $5,000. Today, he finds that income-producing acres of farmland easily sell for $9,500 to $10,000.

“I’ve seen farmland values almost double during the last couple of years,” Mendenhall says. “Currently, we’re in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Idaho, but we are analyzing land all over America. What reports don’t show is the difference between a properly maintained acre of farmland and an acre that is in disarray. There’s only so much workable farmland on the market today. We’ve hit the tipping point, and now, there’s a scarcity of land for people to buy. If you have the opportunity to purchase amazing agricultural land, you have to pull the trigger quickly.”

Income-producing farms as an asset class

Mendenhall is no stranger to investors. Since 2006, he’s connected them to deals in short sales, wholesaling, residential properties, and storage units, though he admits that every asset class has caused the same excitement as farmland. “At this point, we can’t find enough bargains for our investors,” he says. “They take real pride in their investments and keep asking us for more.”

RADD America takes a true grassroots approach when connecting its investors to farmland. “The farming world is different from any other in real estate,” explains Mendenhall. “We start by having our acquisitions and agricultural teams meet with farmers. When we get ready to brand cattle or plant, all the local farmers come and help. In the same spirit, our teams go out and help the local farmers when it’s their turn to brand and plant. To do it right, you have to build a relationship and a connection that’s quite different than other types of investing.”

RADD America is composed of expert investors and expert farmers. The company offers its investments through fractionalized ownership. In other words, the company purchases one farm and then allows a joint pool of investors to own it together. 

“If you don’t have a team that knows how to farm and maximize income, you’re not going to get the best possible return for investors,” warns Mendenhall. “Thankfully, our team isn’t so big for this type of investing that we forget who we are, and we have the economy to scale at a great pace.”

The impact of global competition on income-producing farm investments

RADD America closely monitors global trends. In Mendenhall’s experience, investors win when they move before the market. However, when they move after the market, they lose.

“When Russian first invaded and sparked its war with Ukraine, for example, we kept a close eye on its global impact,” he says. “As one of the largest producers of wheat in the world, we knew that Ukraine — now in the midst of a war — wasn’t going to be able to produce wheat at the same scale, so someone else needs to step in and fill the gap. We’re constantly monitoring what’s happening in the world to stay on top of evolving trends.”

In terms of global competition, Mendenhall is frustrated by foreign entities staking ownership of American farmland and agriculture. In this area, China has positioned itself as the number one threat to the sovereignty of the United States.

“When foreign powers have ownership of agricultural land in the US, it puts us all at risk as Americans,” remarks Mendenhall. “Over the past few years, we’ve seen soil quality erode, closures of meatpacking plants, and numerous fires. The likelihood of nuclear war in this age is very small. The quiet war of buying American agriculture and unsettling the American dollar is the threat we face today.”

Clearly, RADD America has a lot to pay attention to at home and abroad. “We’re monitoring weather patterns and making one-year, three-year, and five-year predictions,” Mendenhall explains. “We’re also paying close attention to interest rates to see where this shifting economy is headed. The up-and-down cycles are faster than they’ve ever been. Monitoring the industry is critical. With expert investors and agricultural specialists from RADD America on your team, farmland can be one of your most promising and rewarding investment opportunities.”
