Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Top Producer Podcast: Shawn Arita, North Dakota State University Agricultural Risk Policy Center
Q: Who is your mentor or mentors in your career?
Mentors include Rob, a sharp former boss at USDA who taught focus and delivery, Sharon Seidel for policy depth and service, and Seth Meyer for market knowledge and communication; many others have guided me over the years.
Top Producer Podcast: Iron Ridge Advisors
Q: What are some of the risk associations with the DST?
Main risks include illiquidity and limited ability to exit on short notice, which can require selling at discounts in private markets; there is also complexity and the need for thorough due diligence on each DST property; diversification within the DST is recommended to mitigate sector and geographic risk.
Top Producer Podcast: Iron Ridge Advisors
Q: So now, what would you say are some of the key benefits of doing or using a DST?
DSTs offer tax deferral on capital gains when selling farm land, allow reinvestment into a diversified, professionally managed real estate portfolio, provide potential depreciation advantages, and can deliver ongoing mailbox money; they also enable non-recourse debt structures which reduce personal liability.
Top Producer: Erik Glenn of the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust
Q: Who was your mentor in this process?
Erik Glenn describes Kent Holsinger, a Denver attorney from a ranch family, as a major influence who helped shape his career path and partnership approach, including mentorship and collaboration.
Episode 225: Drew Blankenbaker of Iroquois Valley Farmland REIT
Q: What is your definition of success in farming?
Success in farming is when you have a farm that is economically viable and thriving, with healthier land and a path for the next generation.
