About
Legacy Farmland Fund

Sower is dedicated to providing a comprehensive solution for Landowners.

Sower’s Legacy Farmland Fund exists entirely because of the issues facing landowners today. Our whole mission is to keep farmers on the land. And, we do this by giving landowners a way to monetize their farm instead of selling it and being subject to capital gains taxes, or by having no succession plan in place at all.
