A few years ago, it seemed that capital was on every corner looking for a place to invest. But even in those cash-rich days, not a lot of investors looked at Agriculture as an investment objective — aside from biological crop inputs and technology. Then there is Open Prairie, an Illinois-based private equity group deploying investor money into growing agricultural companies. Open Prairie’s founder and CEO, Jim Schultz discusses the landscape of Ag venture capital, why he’s bullish on Ag, and the future. Mr. Schultz also explains — in simple terms — the process of investing and how his fund works, then he shares some great illustrations citing companies you may have heard of!
