With this sale, Gladstone not only recorded a substantial gain, but it greatly benefited the company's shareholders as well.

Bill Frisbie, Executive Vice President, Gladstone Land Corporation"We acquired this parcel several years ago as part of a larger farmland assemblage. The parcel was not actively farmed, and the location made it desirable to land buyers in the immediate region. We were able to run a successful sale process and ultimately obtained a contract to sell that had tremendous benefit to our shareholders," commented Bill Frisbie, Executive Vice President of Gladstone Land.

Funds in hand, where will Gladstone acquire its next parcel of land? Only time and AndNowUKnow will tell, so stay tuned.
