This is Part 3 of a three-part live conversation with Robert Andjelic, Canada’s largest farmland owner and this is where the discussion got real.

If capital tightens, who survives — and why?
In Part II of this series, Robert Andjelic moves from macro warning to practical action, outlining exactly how producers should prepare as credit becomes more selective across agriculture.
This conversation focuses on what banks actually look at when risk rises, and how operators can position themselves before capital availability — not interest rates — becomes the constraint.

In this first episode, we sit down with Robert Andjelic, Canada’s largest farmland owner, to examine why credit conditions are tightening—and why agriculture may soon feel pressure not from prices, but from capital itself.
After meeting with major lenders and financial institutions across Canada, Robert shares what he’s seeing behind the scenes:
Growing stress inside the banking system
Pressure coming from commercial real estate and shadow banking
Why regulators and not farmers are forcing banks to change behavior
And how these dynamics could quietly reshape farmland ownership

Is farmland the ultimate investment? In this insightful episode, Damian sits down with Robert Andjelic, Canada’s largest private farmland owner, to explore the future of agricultural real estate. Despite having no farming background, Robert now owns 250,000 acres of prime Canadian farmland—mostly in Saskatchewan, with holdings in Manitoba and Alberta.

After leaving the commercial real estate sector in 2007, Robert turned to farmland, citing water security, climate change, and the decline of arable land worldwide as key factors driving his investment. In this conversation, he shares his perspective on the economics of farmland, global instability, and the shifting agricultural landscape.
