Harvest Returns Expands Agricultural Lending with Second Private Credit Fund
Harvest Returns, an agricultural investment platform, announced the launch of its Private Credit Fund II, offering accredited investors the opportunity to participate in the growing demand for alternative agricultural financing. The fund builds on the performance of its inaugural private credit offering launched in 2023.
The new fund will provide debt capital to a range of U.S.-based farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses, helping meet the sector’s need for flexible and accessible financing in a lending environment that remains restrictive for many producers.
Targeted Strategy: Asset-Backed, Diversified Lending
The Private Credit Fund II will deploy capital through secured loans, collateralized by real agricultural assets, including farmland, livestock, and machinery. This approach aims to offer both capital protection and attractive yields, while diversifying risk across sectors and regions.
Chris Rawley, CEO and Fund Manager at Harvest Returns, commented: “We are excited to launch our second Private Credit Fund, further solidifying our commitment to supporting the backbone of the American economy. The continued success of our first fund demonstrated a strong appetite from investors for stable returns through a diversified agriculture debt portfolio, and the significant need for tailored financing solutions within the farming community.”
